I think part of the problem that is going on here is that the bulk of you are ignorant as to the word of God. I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in. I understand that everyone didn’t have the chance to be taught these things, and learn about God as my family did so if I am going to have this kind of attention I should use it to help teach others about the words of God that helped to shape me into the woman I am today.

Everyone I am sure knows the passage that in the beginning God created heaven and earth. But there is more then just this one that people remember.

In Genesis 1:2 there is more talk about God’s work. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science. From this God moved to creating all the creatures, notice there is never talk of creatures ‘evolving’ into other creatures, instead God is able to make the creatures as he will including man.

In Genesis 1:25-27 “25. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”

People of science claim that the Earth is the way it is because of millions of years of time and science effecting it. But we are taught and believe that our world is this way and has the aged look because of the flood of Noah. It was the waters covering the Earth on such a grand scale that caused the aging that people of science claim as proof.

But in the Bible we are told in Genesis 6:7 “So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth–men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air–for I am grieved that I have made them.””

But the Bible teaches us that God was not done with man. For we were His creation and He then spoke to Noah in Genesis 8:21-27 after the flood.
“21. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never gonna give you up. 22. “Never gonna let you down.” 23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.” 24. “Never gonna make you cry.” 25. “Never gonna say goodbye.” 26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.” 27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”

It’s these teachings that I’ve spent my life learning, believing and becoming, that have made me the woman that I am today.

You are a bigot. How dare you try and push your tripe on everyone else? You don’t see those believing in Evolution calling for the Bible and other creationist texts to be banned. But no, you have to take on something of an ‘elitist’ status by condescending others views and beliefs. A true christian would understand and accept that not everyone will agree with their take on the worlds creation – but instead you try and push your view down the fine readers of this sites throats.

I am not christian – but I accept the christian faith and don’t go around undermining it.

Lol you are one twisted psycho. Ever heard of evolutionary theory or is your sight so blinded by your so-called-God who has an answer to everything? I thought Jack Thompson was pathetic, but apparently it can indeed get even worse.

Everything you say is based entirely on the assumption that the Bible is an accurate and irrefutable record of the word of God.

What if it isn’t? Where does that leave you if the Bible is a work of fiction? How will you feel when your entire world comes crashing down around your ears because you finally realise that your entire life has been based on a lie?

To be honest, at first I found myself annoyed at the nonsense you’re writing, but now I just feel pity for you, that you’ve based your entire existance on something very, very flimsy.

Good luck with that, say ‘Hi’ to God from me next time you talk to him, tell him I’ll be along soon. Thanks.

Kid, just because you were taught something as a child does not make it true! Perhaps those well-meaning parents and teachers of yours were wrong. I understand that there are strong social pressures supporting your positions – but you have to ask yourself, “Does this theology sound remotely plausible”?

[..] So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand [...] Clear? So If I write down that George Bush is an alien…that clears up a lot too?

Well I guess you don’t have the will, and reason (since for you its the truth), to really open your eyes to see what’s real, definable, fact. Well as long as you aren’t bothering other people with your dreamworld its fine by me, but leave the people in the real world alone.

Don’t try to force others to live in your world, let everyone be his own. But I guess there would be a lot less wars and stuff if people could actually do that…

Without too much knowledge about the game to start with other than Leo Laporte et al. discussing it on their webcast, I’d think I have to agree with them that Spore is not an evolutionary game per se.
An evolutionary game would be very boring, because you wouldn’t have to do anything besides wait and see what happens. As I gathered, in spore you are required to make decisions about the direction in which your creature develops. That to me sounds more like an ‘intelligent design’ kind of environment than evolution.
If you’s like to see what real evolutionary simulations would be, check out this site: lottolab.org.

Please come on!
I am a brother in Christ and I am strong in my faith. A game can not change may faith in Jesus and God, our father.
And he helps me in the times like this, when ppl like u give us other christians a bad name.
WE are much stronger then we think, we dont need to blame or jugde other ppl
Joh 3:17
“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
ITS A GAME!!!!!
ITs the parents role to teach the children, not the games!! DONT BLAME EA or ppl playing the game. U are not the man to judge other ppl

Here’s my problem with this website. It seems anytime anything comes up that even insinuates that what the bible says might not be true, the Christians jump up like a bunch of over zealous crusaders of god and feel like they have to strike it down.

Spore is a videogame. It supports the theory of evolution in a creative way. A theory by the way that is supported by science which is based on facts and not just a book somebody wrote to maintain order in a time of chaos.

It is an unfortunate time proven truth that religion and open-mindedness do not go hand in hand. And for the record, I would like to point out that I find it funny and ironic that you call what Will Wright did “brainwash”.

You my stupid fuckface friend hav enraged the videogame gods and now they will send their fanboy minions here to flame u so hardcore ur “god” wont be brave enough to come save ur stupid fucking ass!! srsly wtf is wrong with u!!!! u fucking ppl piss me off, yes u hav an opinion, u dont need to post it on the internet in a stupid blog and act like Spore is the devil and every 5 yr old kid will die if he so much as looks at it in the shop!! FUCK OFF!!!

You said you were raised with such believes. But it does not mean that you cannot overlook them when you become an adult. Noone tells you that you should abandon your religion but is this too difficult to open your mind for other things?

As an example: The co-worker of my husband grew up in a religious family, they were visiting church every Sunday, preying before dinner… the usual stuff. That man had(and has) an elder brother, who, at the age of twelve announced that he refuses to go to church. His parents shrugged their shoulders and approoved. The guy, being the age of eight, immediatly jumped in and said he does not want to do it too. On what he got answer: “Wait till you are the age of your brother and then we will hear you out.” My point being, a teenager overlooked his faith, even though he was being raised in religion and opened his mind. Why can’t you?

Now, you say that it is “clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science”. I beg your pardon… Clear? You read it in a book, created ages ago, in a time where people were ignorant and thought rain and thunder are anger/gift of a higher being. Book can carry any information, where is a proof? On the contrary, science brings us at least evidence. Evidence of evolution, progress. Bible brings us nothing exept for fancy words that we are ough to believe just because we Must Believe.

As a disclamer, I do not want to bash faith in general, people are entitled of their opinions. It’s just that exactly yours rubs me wrong because of its narrow-mindness and inability to accept there may be other truths.

All you idiots replying here must be stupid if you think he gives a shit or even read these comments.
The author is just another brainwashed psycho who didnt get beaten up enough as a kid, leave him alone.

Lets say your god does exist (there is a possibilty, no proof, but its possible) and he hates evolution…. Why hasn’t he banned it then!? How can you talk about banning a game that just replicates something that happens in every day life (evolution). You cannot deny the existance of evolution anymore because it is observed every day. Evolution is the change of gene frequencies between generations in a population. If evolution doesn’t exist, then how do you explain dog breeding, or crop selection, or more natural every day examples such as drug resistent bacteria?

And really anti-spore, how are you going to try to say something is fact and true just because a thousand year old book says it is. Hell, if thats the case, shouldn’t everyone be spouting greek mythology as fact, or perhaps we should all be preparing for the yearly virgin sacrifices that need to be completed before autumn harvest!!!!

You quote the bible as if that means that what it is saying is true. There is no evidence for any of what you are saying.

Science didn’t create the world, science isn’t a thing that wonders round creating rational phenomenom at will. Science explains to us how the world works and why it works, it reasons and it is rational. The bible merely makes unfounded statements that make no sense and have nothing to back them up.

In some ways this blog amuses me but in alot of ways it makes me sad and scared that people can be so ignorant and gullible about how the world works.

It is rather stupid if a modern religion ignores evolution no matter what is written in books your believes rely on. The human race is quite ignorant, dumb and also numb. Not enough that we are wasting our planet and killing the animals. No one remembers the time _when_ the holy books were written and no one can imagine why that was written was written. Believe whatever you want but don’t be so ignorant to tell others that evolution is just a stupid inventment by religioness scientists. For me there is no god and nothing afterlife. You musn’t agree me but you have to tolerate and accept it.

“Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.” – Einstein

Your site must be the strangest ever. Everyone is free to have their own opinion about god, but how can you be so sure your opinion is the right one? What if it aint no god at all or if the hindu belief is the right one. If god exists he created the maker of spore, remember that. Your path seems very dangerous. For me jesus and god is like a fairytale and you cant proff me wrong, santa claus is as likely to be real.

In Genesis 1:2 there is more talk about God’s work. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

well you name it god, the science name it big bang. the result is the same. our world.
and science never claimed to be the one, who made the world.
i would see it this way. the spirit of god or god himself ( the difference does not matter) are some kind of power we don’t or at least didn’t understand in the times the bible was written. i actually think, that the science today even don’t understand the power behind the big bang.
what i belief is, that the power, which was behind the bigbang ( that this big bang and the evolution afterwards has taken place is something out of question for me) maybe that “person” you call god.
the point is in the time when the old testament was written no one had known about physics and the reaction between elements. so they made up a “story” about the beginning of the world. but today it should be seen as a methaphor for what actually happend billions of years ago.
if you follow completely the genesis of the bible the earth would be something about 4000 years old. so the highculture of egypte, which was 8000 years ago, did not exists?
don’t you think that it is a bit out of proportion to deny that this culture did exist?

i’m not telling you to burn in hell or go fuck yourself or whatever. it is your belief and you may be happy with it. you should just think about what you belief and think about some facts you can’t really ignore while thinking about god an evolution.
god (allah, jahwe, whatever names there are) maybe actually be the cause of evolution but it did not take place the way the bible says it for obvious reasons.

and what you should not do is blame other for their believes. and this is exactly what you do. you blame the creator of spore for his believe in evolution and his believe in god or his membership in a church that has different believes from yours.

you should never forget that wars ( with millions of deads) where fougth but for one stupid reason: believe in one god or another.

this did not change till today!
so don’t wonder about the comments of people who want to see you burn in hell.
you attack their believe in something and they did what ever army would do when under attack they fire back. with the difference that these people here would never do you actually harm.

you think sim city was a great game but spore is not because spore is “against” the bible.
in what of the bible stands that you are allowed to send hurricans or godzilla over a city? i don’t think there is such a part.
one last think. spore is a game. if you don’t like don’t play it.
there are much worse games out for children than this one.
i would prefer for my child to play spore instead of counterstrike, call of duty and so on.
creating something is always better than to destroy something. don’t you think?

Sites like yours are what make the internet so great – freedom of expression. Your words are heartfelt and provocative, forcing thousands of people to consider their positions on religion and intelligent design.

This is the same reason why games like Spore are so great. By my count, Spore has invoked the wrath of both Christians and Atheists alike, and for opposite reasons! That’s pretty amazing since the game’s premise is open-ended enough that it’s all a matter of interpretation.

I’m an atheist but I appreciate your website as a means to freely convey your beliefs, as is your right. I also respect that you don’t sanitize, modify, or delete others’ comments as other Christian fundie websites have done to me in the past for speaking my mind.

Peace and respect. Don’t let a little video game get you worked up. It’s just a work of fantasy. Some people like to latch on to works of fantasy and treat them like they’re real, but people like you and I know better.

Hey people! It’s a game! If you believe that humans on Earth were created by God, then OK. But on other planets there CAN be evolution. By the way i believe in evolution too, because it’s stupid to think that God made many versions of human and we are his last “work”. What about dinosaurs? God placed their bones into the ground to try our faith? Ha! Come on!

People, there is no sense in trying to start a discussion with religious fanatics on this subject. Centuries of manipulation and indoctrination by the church has made it impossible for them to comprehend the fact that nobody really knows anything about creation.

“I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in.” – You just take whatever crap your parents fed you and do not reflect on it. That is truly ignorant.

Brian I object!!! SPORE HAS TO BE REAL!!!! I saw it in the store the other day and was told I could own a copy of my own if I gave the store person money. He looked shady though, so I decided to come on here first just to verify that it was real. Now off to give the man my money and hopefully find a real copy of Spore in my posession!!!

wouldn’t one say that this is the best explanation to intelligent design according to the bible and it allows one to actually accept Darwinism.

god sat down stared to make the animals then he noticed that some animals was lacking in somethings and made other animals to cover that and when one species no longer could survive due to something happened he then made changes which allowed those animals to survive.

one only need to take one look around and see intelligent design in work. You are even looking at something like that right now whilst reading this.

the bible is just full of bullshit. we all know that it isn’t correct. only fanatics like you could believe in the “words of god”. just as an information: the bible was writen and translated several times by men.

First of all, are you serious?
Spore is a game, a creation for our entertainment that embraces the evolution theory.
People who belivie in the evolution theory did not complain when Black And White was created and we were playing as God himself. Gamers around the world loves this game and it is no suprise what so ever that some christian fanatic have to complain. The evolution theory is the most logical explination to the creation of life here on earth.

Did you know that christianity is built on a long line of other religions?
That things like “The last supper”, “The ressurection” and “Easter” had been included in alot of other religions before it was written in the Bible?

I hate to say it, but religion is the joke of the millinium.
It’s only purpose today is to give people in need hope, everything else is bad about it.

Christianity should be alowed to exist but it should not have the right to preach about things they are to stupid to understand.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

The fact that you are all responding so fervently without even reading the entries, (which contain Rick Astley lyrics!), is just making you look like ignorant fools of the sort you claim the “blogger” to be.

All this stuff this nice, but do you realise that Bible has been written by people many years ago, who believed in myths as that earth is flat and that earth is center of space? Do you realise that evolution is a natural process that has been running since life started to exist in form of proteins millions years ago? Now tell, me – WHERE is your god now??? C’mon god, send a lighting aganist me if evolution is a lie!

Let´s take it other way… Prove us that theory of creation is true! How can you prove it? Bible? But bible is only a book written by some people. Just like Koran and holy books/scrolls of other religions. You are also saying not everyone had a chance to hear word of god – I don’t fuckin need to! I’ve grown in modern Europe and our political system is NOT affected by religion. We don’t have fanatical christians here as you do, and we support SCIENCE. If you want to believe, then you can, BUT PLEASE – DO NOT CALL ME AN IGNORANT!!!

Why must all religious people so desperately cling to their notion of a small god incapable of spanning and encompassing all reaches of science? Is it not just as possible for god to have designed evolution as a beautifully simplistic way of creating all species?

Honestly, stop trying to cram the entire world into your little god box. It doesn’t work. Instead, open your eyes to the beauty of science. Science is more intricate, beautiful, and more awe inspiring than Abraham’s God could ever be.

BTW – If you want to spread knowledge hit a library. I’d recommend some reading in the areas of geology, human psychology, the study of ancient religions, the creation of the christian church, and hold on now… studies in the area of textual criticism of the bible.
That last one may sting a bit, but no one said medicine had to taste good.

I’m sorry, I really don’t mind people believing in God and such, but what I can’t stand is if such people as you over-react and try to MAKE you believe in God….after all this is just a game and it doesn’t really teach you anything about evolution in detail. You’re wasting your time.

I just want to say that your arrogance is amusing. I love how you create this negative framing of everyone that disagrees with your views.

Why can’t everyone just keep an open mind about this stuff or at least do what I do and consider both sides of the argument and have tolerance for people that view things differently to you. I’m sorry but the whole concept of science is that things are tested and proven. They don’t necessarily disprove god or his works or anything just because they don’t mesh perfectly with the literal translation of the bible.
There is no conspiracy among scientists to undermine the church or your beliefs, I can tell you now most of them couldn’t care less and don’t even think of religious beliefs when they carry about their work (ie. it’s unbiased and pure observation and reasoning)

Even then, I’m sure you have it in you to just accept Spore as a game/simulation of the theory of evolution without it being some sort of grand plot against God or negligence by christians, perhaps they just keep a more open mind to these things than you do.

oh my god, you are hilarious … really i dont mind if you think all that is true or not.

Well, anyhow, since you always whine about what kind of ‘cruel’ ‘sexual’ ‘whatever’ creatures you can create with the Spore Editor i hope you keep in mind that you could say the same thing about every way to express a visual concept (damn you playdo!! Or Paint…. or Adobe Photoshop CS3!!!).

And as you know, god has a good taste for humor, just think of the platypus.

So, hell what, keep on your good work, keep us laughing and make a greeeeat PR Work for EA / Spore / Will Wright.

Lol… mate… that last part it’sa song from that gay guy…
QUOTE (sing this): “Never gonna let you down.” 23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.” 24. “Never gonna make you cry.” 25. “Never gonna say goodbye.” 26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.”
Lol… I did not know that was on the bible… lol… anyway… I haveborn in the same beliefs as you, BUT, if you a little about history, you would know that the church an the rest of your people that believes in this stuff, killed a lot of inocent people, yes, inocent people, now, you came here and talk about “omg, you can create life in spore! It’s againt my beliefs. Kill them!!” … … Oh God… serious, if you belief in that stuff, you might as well murderer someone that does not believe in you, so thht makes you an assassin too, and us… we are just gamers, we don’t care for that stuff, we only want to have fun!! You know the word FUN don’t you?

Sweet Jebus, the only thing worse then the people that don’t read the whole post: the people who DO read the whole post, REALIZE that it devolves into RICK ASTLEY LYRICS, and STILL feel the need to argue about the rest of the posts in the blog.

Hey leave the blogger alone! She’s not hurting you! Seriously, I think she knows that if anything, Spore is promoting ID, not evolution, as the gamer has to make the changes, not wait around for millions of years for random mutation and natural selection and deselection to take place without intervention. And what’s with the foul language? Grow up!

God is a creation of man to blame for everything we’ve done. God does not exist. God is the illusion, the hope of poor people. God is a way to build up effectiveness among lazy believers. God is our way of feeling safe.

I was reading through various user comments about the statements you made on this site and it seems that almost everyone on the comments section was able to disprove your poorly investigated claims quickly. You really should ask yourself why you are even starting off new topics, if you are not even able to find reasonable answers to good points readers made on the previous ones. I guess bringing your child to school and let it have breakfast should not stop you from joining your very own argument and defending the points you made on a rational level. But your answers, if given, are always underwhelming at best. It seems that more than 90% of the people on this site are disproving you every time you make one of your lackluster statements and all we see afterwards is seeing you removing yourself from a hopeless venture.

Also, since you want to be a role model for young people, stop hating on gays und show some grace of charity instead. Thank you.

Please take the title of your own blog post to heart. Understand that YOUR beliefs do not necessary have to be the believes of others. I don’t say either of them is more right than the other. That’s the whole point of the word “belief”. You can’t proof belief. For me personally evolution makes more sense than creationism but I don’t go out and insult everybody who believes in creationism.

Let me see if I got this right…
Your proof for the fact that god created the world… was that the bible says it, that’s pretty fucking weak, you believe something because someone else told you it was true, logistically how can there exist one all powerful being who exists before everything else? Everything without fail must have a beginning, if there is a god the same holds true, god had to come from somewhere, but no you put your faith in a book that’s been rewritten so many times, how the hell can you know if it’s true anymore?
Allow me to put it this way, the bible says god created animals “according to their kind” now if this is the direct word of god, that means that there were pre-established ideas of what these “kinds” of animals are, which adds support to the theory that god had to have come from somewhere.
And saying that god’s power will beat the billions in revenue, show me this power, you’r working on the idea that some guy in the clouds -wants- you to protest a videogame, if god is so powerful then why does he need you to do it? Why doesn’t he just smite EA and be done with it? C’mon he used to do it all the time in that bible you keep shoving in our faces.
You are not a messenger of god, you are not doing “his work” you are not saving anything, you are just showing how stupid and moronic people can be, you see you’ve been brainwashed into thinking some magical being will be there for you, you’ve been made to believe that it’s okay that things go wrong cause you have your belief and your belief says there’s a magical land after we die, don’t blindly accept everything just cause some guy in a dress tells you it’s what some figure in the sky wants, question everything cause that little warm feeling you get when something goes good? That’s not god’s love, that’s just a fucking feeling.

Christianity sprung to favour when the masses were living in abject squalor, how do you keep people happy when they have nothing? Tell them there’s an afterlife, you have been conned.

What I find Most annoying is you complain over a game that speaks of evolution and because you don’t like it you decide to create a website and essentialy Parade around insulting it because its not “YOUR VIEW”

I accept you believe in god I accept you don’t believe in Evolution yet do you see me running around making website insulting your religion because I dont belive in it?
Because I believe in Evolution?

NO you don’t

Everyone is entitles to their belief I see programs saying how god created everything, I see programs of how man evovled yet I don’t go making a capaign against the program speaking of god because its YOUR it’s view your CHOICE..

God gave mankind something angels desired.
*Freedom to make a choice be it good or bad*

we have the freedom to choose to believe in evolution or not we have the freedom to believe in God or not, Thats what he or she wanted and inteded for us.
To give us Choices your not here to guide, us if I so choose to start having a belief in god then so be it but untill that day comes I have made my choice as god has given me.

so end this silly website all your going to achieve is humiliate yourself.
Just get over it and accept we have choice thats what makes us unique and if your belive in god so much you will believe that this is part of *his/her* decision to let us have freedom and choices
Even if you don’t agree your not one to preach how its wrong

The only thing funnier than how straight up epic of a trolling this was is the fact that so many people STILL can’t see that you sir (I refuse to beleive you are a woman without “appropriate” evidence) are lord troll of the piss-ocean which is the internet.

And this, my friend, is why you fail. You base your entire belief system on what you have been told is right, rather than making informed judgements for yourself.

If it were written in your bible that all men were created with blue feet, would you believe that, despite the obvious evidence that men, in fact, do not have blue feet? Or would you unerringly fight to the death to defend your belief that a man’s clearly pinkish feet are in fact, blue?

That is the closest to what you are doing now that I can come to in an example. In the face of clear evidence that your bible is in error in many, many places, you still take the bible as word for word truth. The bible is a wonderful little storybook, but near to every event in it is ridiculous and impossible. Particularly looking at the story of the flood here. You can’t seriously tell me that you believe that tale is true?

I’ll get your padded cell ready, the nice men in white coats will look after you.

On another note, you tell me you are a family woman. Please, do not force this tripe on your child. Let them make their own, informed decision. Let them be taught science, and let them read your bible. Then they may decide to be informed, or clueless like their mother.

I grew up Catholic. Never really stayed a good Catholic. And oddly enough nothing has changed except for having my Sunday’s free. I still believe in God. I believe that he is good and has blessed mankind with free choice. I also believe that everyone has a right to choose a faith and live by it’s standards so long as those standards do not harm, hinder or in any way judge others.
You choose the word Ignorance and I have to say I chuckled a bit. Ignorance is a lack of knowledge or disregard of the facts, whereas science is anything but. When someone shows you an equation for life and can prove to you that it’s true, and you simply choose not to accept it then it is you who has become ignorant and stubborn.
What is so hard about believing in evolution AND God at the same time?

YOU are the brain washers! Why do you force your children to believe in this “god” of yours? You know it’s all bullshit. I demand this website to be taken down. It’s completely useless. Stop posting bullshit.

First off, are you really that stupid?
Everytime, we the gamers bring out a game, you like many others, such as Jack Thompson or some other stupid religous nut, decide that becasue it doesn’t conform to your “rules” you belive you have the right to attack the game.
Honestly, are you that stupid?
You don’t even have the game for crying out loud.
its people like you who make me sick.
Games are not meant too be controversial or attack religon, there just entertainment.
Serioulsy how the hell does someone learn about darwin or god through a game?
Its a frigging simulator you twat
I could go after religon right now and rip your god apart but Ill give u a break for once.
Fucking hell is wrong with you stupid religous nuts?

@ all the ranters and ravers
Please read the post carefully, especially the last bit. I mean: “27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”” Come on!
This is as clear an admission of trolling as you’re ever going to get.

Well, your arguement would be legitimite of the Bible wasnt fiction, unfortunatly, it is, so according to you.

Since the bible say it, and you believe the bible to be 100% truthful, then science cannot be the true answer.

Scientologists believe that the evil lord Zenu (sp?) sent aliens from his over populated plantet to inhabit earth (basically).

There is even a science fiction book to go along with it.

Are you going to hell?

Most religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion wont all religious people go to hell?

“And 8,500 employees at Electronic Arts to corrupt a child’s mind.”
“God would come in with a tornado or an earthquake and put you back in place.”
“…bragging about using millions of people as unpaid slaves to create content for his game.”
“27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet.”

I just want to say one thing, I am also Christian, but I believe in Evolution, by a simple fact, the biblia was written by men, even if it is God guide their ideas to write it, our minds were “fragile” at the time, were unable to understand the complexity of life, then we were told things like “The man came from dust” or “the earth was created in 7 days” because as we intender des something like the evolution of a cell (or worse an atom ) When not see it or Billions of years on the planet? So trying to explain it created such theories as of metaphors,. Jesus said in metaphors, almost nothing was said that up to understand without at least reflect. This is the mistake of the church, the enves of trying to evolve and learn new things to do in the past. God also says it is not wrong disperdiçar our gifts? Why can not we use the most he has given us …. the ability to think.
PS: forgive me if my English this horrible, I am not ignorant, is that I am Brazilian and my English is not very good for writing a text even I used the tool of languages google to translate it.

I think the problem is not that the people visiting this site are ignorant to the word of god, but that you’re blinded by your faith and in your rabid zealotry you’re trying to prove that a VIDEO GAME is playing center stage in some grand, anti-religious conspiracy.

And you keep doing it even though so many religious people have come here and posted that they think you’re nutty. I myself spent my childhood in the Catholic school system, have read the bible (old and new testament) more times than I can count. I also happen to think you’re batshit insane.

You’ve read about a game and you’re going through an elaborate knee-jerk reaction via this site. You never played it, you merely read that it was based on the idea of evolving a character and without stressing your brain any further you surmised that EVOLUTION IS THE DEVIL THEREFORE THIS GAME IS EVIL!!!

You’re a nutbar. You’re the type of person who makes it not so hard to believe that ‘witches’ were burned at the stake, heretics were tortured with hot pokers and thousands of ‘non-believers’ were slaughtered in religious wars. Thankfully the rest of the civilized world has mostly EVOLVED to a more rational and sane way of life, rather than this sort of religious extremism.

Wooh someone’s ignorant here… Science didn’t create the heavens and the earth, neither did God. You know, there was this thing called the Big Bang that called everything into existence, just because we still don’t fully understand it, doesn’t mean there’s some deity behind it all pushing buttons.

And about calling Spore and Will Wright evil (who gives a rat’s ass if he belongs to a church that approves of homosexuality, there shouldn’t be anything to approve, homosexuality isn’t something weird or strange, just because some guy who – supposedly – lived a few thousand years ago thought so)? Sh*t… Now that’s ignorance. If you like some quack-explanation that poses as science (but definitely isn’t) and claims to show how everything started, well that’s your right, don’t take your ignorance out on something like a video-game.

About not everyone being able to gotten to know God in the way you did, well I for one am very, very happy about this. I live my life as good as I can do, I don’t discriminate, I don’t condem people who do belief (only when they’re ignorant f*cks) and I don’t live a life of crime. My parents gave me a choice to seek out what there is in the world. I’ve read the Bible (old & new testament), I’ve read the Koran; and you know what? All I found were a whole lot of stories, some good, some just plain gross. Nothing more.

You know what you should do? Don’t get your kid that game, better yet, throw out the computer alltogether, throw out the radio and the tv (oh my god, the garbage you see and hear on there), keep him out of school and get him home-schooled… That’ll straighten him out just fine.

It’s just nice to now there are f*cktards like you in this world, you provide those of us who are able to think rationally with great humour!

you poor christians are so stupid…STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID…
The creation…We are in 2008 wake up!! Science is the world, religion is another little thing…And cmon Spore is a VIDEOGAME…There are many most important problems…

I love how people blindly follow a 2000 year old book without even questioning it. I mean it’s ok to believe in god, but when you just ignore other theories because a book tells you to………That’s just plain ignorance.

I would appreciate if you took the time to read this message. This was taken from the msnbc news website:

—————————————————

Pope Benedict XVI said the debate raging in some countries — particularly the United States and his native Germany — between creationism and evolution was an “absurdity,” saying that evolution can coexist with faith.

The pontiff, speaking as he was concluding his holiday in northern Italy, also said that while there is much scientific proof to support evolution, the theory could not exclude a role by God.

“They are presented as alternatives that exclude each other,” the pope said. “This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.”

—————————————————

Please understand that evolution in not an attack on Christianity or God. Please stop talking about people who teach evolution as if they are less good people who need your prayers to ‘convert’ and save themselves.

To be honest, you were quoted on http://www.golem.de with the following text:
“If you create a creature which does not work well, who can’t eat, fight or move fast, you have a problem to survive”.
Well, isn’t that exactly like reality? If you were born as a handicapped, you have a problem to survive. And to me, it seems as if you, with your limited mind and view of the world, are somehow handicapped yourself. Spore is a game, like football, like tennis … and if you want to play football but you have problems with your legs, you won’t succeed. If you want to play tennis without arms, it won’t work!
I do trust in god as most of people on earth do. And if am right, isn’t there written in the bible, that god let men live by them selves? So god gave us the right to do whatever we want. He even gave us the right to do things like hurting people or killing people, because we CAN do it. If god wouldn’t want us to fight, to kill, to die or to play and invent video games, why did he let us do this? If he’s against it, we’ll feal his wrath sooner or later, so who cares?

Pls, for the sake of your loving god stop your internet hooliganism and let people who are capable of INDEPENDENT THOUGHT form their OWN opinions of this game.

If this game offends you that much, just ignore it. You’re not doing anyone any favours by blabbering about your faith here. You inspire nothing but downright PITY with your sad, pathetic, uninformed outbursts of religious fanaticism.

“In Genesis 1:2 there is more talk about God’s work. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science. From this God moved to creating all the creatures, notice there is never talk of creatures ‘evolving’ into other creatures, instead God is able to make the creatures as he will including man. ”

So, just because a book tells you some “thing” called God. There are books much older then the bibel, books from the myan`s that tells us about the earth`s cycle around the sun, and how magnetic fields influence how things on this planet works.

Im a firm beliver in evolution. I belive that we were evolved into human beings, not because i like the way it sounds, but because its the most believeable, proved and frankly the most logical explenation.
But thinking that we were put on this earth by some superior being who created everything and anything (sounds very familiar). And to think that he writes just ONE book about It. ONE book on how this world was created, how we should live our lifes. But doesn`t mention anything about ANYTHING that we didn`t know before?

If THAT doesn`t make you question anything about “the lord”`s BS world vision, then you don’t have the intelectual capacity to, or be allowed to, raise child in this world.

With all due respect, I have to express my concerns with your creation of this site. Spore is a videogame of the type commonly referred to as a “god game” that allows the player to basically take the viewpoint of God.
As a Christian, and believer in 6 day creation, I have no problems with Spore. Sure, it struck me as an off comment when I heard the commercial about creavolutionism. I’m not that easily offended however, and I don’t see Wil Wright as someone who is trying to subvert our beliefs and deceive our children. It is up to parents to teach their kids what they believe, and what is true and not. It is also up to the parents to teach their kids how to deal with things that irritate them, and creating a website that blows things so greatly out of proportion, IMO, is not it.
I respect your ability of free speech. That is your right and your freedom to take advantage of. However, I think you are doing more harm than help when it comes to this matter.

To everyone else who has responded here, you guys need to grow up. Everyone has a right to believe what they want. Sure, you also have free speech and this website has invited you to made snide remarks in regards to the Christian faith, but the way you respond makes me believe that a Christian came into your home and murdered your family while you watched. Seriously, calm down, stop cursing, and take your hate speech elsewhere. If you think all Christians fit into the extreme mold that is prevalant in the media and internet you are wrong. Do some thinking before posting, because really you are no better than those you wish to make fun of.

it always surprises me how much people want to restrain eachother in their opinions… what even happened to freedom of opinion, speech, religion, and so on

I think I would like the game, and I can accept that someone else does not
I can also accept that someone else want to write about what is not good about a game
and if I really disagree to the point that I get emotionally ‘touched’ I’ll just have to accept that, that is freedom of press (or speech, or opinion). it is also thee freedom to disagree

dear admin, I totally disagree with your opinion about the game, I also disagree with your opinion about evolution and what is bad for kids and we wil absolutely disagree about so much more (you’ll probably hate harry potter too, I like him). But I am glad I live in a world in which we can disagree and I get to raise my kids in the way I want and so can you.

My only hope is that people like you (and I mean that in a friendly way) can accept my freedom and accept that you have no right to demand that people like me must live the way you want us to.

You may try to convince me not to buy and play a game like this, but never-ever forbid me to do so!

Belief in God is not incompatible with acceptance of science, such as evolution. That’s the problem I have with how you were raised. Chapter 1 of Genesis wasn’t meant to be a scientific paper. At the time it was written, human beings would have been incapable of understanding evolution, and it wasn’t the point.

27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”

If I would not reread the post two times, I would not have noticed.
But you, admin, still FAIL. It is not nice to take on such sensible issue. I hope a piano falls on you when you walk down the supermarket.

Genesis 1:2 “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
- The earth had a name, and it had a face. It existed, god just meerly gave it a more humbled appearance

Genesis 1:25 “God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds.”
- By using the words “according to their kinds”, that indicates that they already had existed or had been conceived to have existed and had preset behavioural patterns that god could not influence

Genesis 1:25 “…And God saw that it was good”
- If he saw that it was good then why did he have to destroy everything with the great flood?

Genesis 1:26 “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, OVER ALL THE EARTH”
- Man to rule over the earth, not god (and god said that so it must be true…)

Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his own image”
- So I was right about god being a horrible, cruel person. After all, look at what humanity has done to itself and the world we live in. Surely this isn’t the work of a god, more of a devil… Is god really Satan?

Genesis 6:7 “So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth–men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air–for I am grieved that I have made them.””
- So he really must’ve been wrong when he said in Genesis 1:25 “And God saw that it was good” I thought god was never wrong..? Also, if as the bible states “God created man in his own image”, he must hate himself seeing that he essencially destoyed himself, as we were an image of god?

Genesis 8:21 “The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood.”
- But if we were made in god’s image, surely it is god himself who’s heart is evil and not our own?

Whoa, now. Spore teaches EVOLUTION? If anything, it teaches intelligent design. YOU, the CREATOR, get to DESIGN the CREATurE INTELLIGENTLY. This is not a random buildup of mutations, but a guided process. Your argument is over.

From your own blog, and in response:
In Genesis 1:2 there is more talk about God’s work. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

But, “God” contradicts himself through the Bible – the word of “God”; Genesis…
God creates light and separates light from darkness, and day from night, on the first day. Yet he didn’t make the light producing objects (the sun and the stars) until the fourth day (1:14-19). 1:3-5
Plants are made on the third day before there was a sun to drive their photosynthetic processes (1:14-19). 1:11
“He made the stars also.” God spends a day making light (before making the stars) and separating light from darkness; then, at the end of a hard day’s work, and almost as an afterthought, he makes the trillions of stars. 1:16 “And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.” 1:17

The Bible talks about a world-wide flood that covered earth in 5.5 miles of water and killed everything, yet we know it never happened. That is clear from the archaeological record.

The belief in “god” seems to be ubiquitous through the ages.

We know, for example, that the ancient Egyptians believed in their gods so fervently that they built massive structures like the Great Pyramid — still today one of the largest and most enduring human constructions ever created. Despite that fervor, however, we know with complete certainty today that the Egyptian gods were imaginary. We don’t build pyramids anymore and we do not mummify our leaders.

More recently we know that tens of millions of Romans worshiped Jupiter and his friends, and to them they built magnificent temples. The ruins of these temples are popular tourist attractions even today. Yet we know with complete certainty that these gods were imaginary because no one worships Zeus any more.

Much more recently, we know that the Aztec civilization believed in their gods so intensely that they constructed huge temples and pyramids. In addition, Aztecs were so zealous that they were sacrificing hundreds of human beings to their gods as recently as the 16th century. Despite the intensity, however, we know today that these gods were completely imaginary. The Aztecs were insane to be murdering people for their gods. Killing a person has no effect on rainfall or anything else. We all know that. If the Aztec gods were real, we would still be offering sacrifices to them.

Today’s “God” is just as imaginary as were these historical gods. The fact that millions of people worship a god is meaningless.

The “God” and the “Jesus” that Christians worship today are actually amalgams formed out of ancient pagan gods. The idea of a “virgin birth”, “burial in a rock tomb”, “resurrection after 3 days” and “eating of body and drinking of blood” had nothing to do with Jesus. All of the rituals in Christianity are completely man-made. Christianity is a snow ball that rolled over a dozen pagan religions. As the snowball grew, it freely attached pagan rituals in order to be more palatable to converts.

The Bible is FULL of contradictions and irregularities. Is man perfect? No. Yet he is created in god’s image…. so either god is not perfect; or we were not created in his image.

And finally… for those reading the comments who would like a laugh (more than what is already supplied by teh anonymous concerned christian…):

Top Ten Signs You’re a Fundamentalist Christian

10 – You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 – You feel insulted and “dehumanized” when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 – You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 – Your face turns purple when you hear of the “atrocities” attributed to Allah, but you don’t even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in “Exodus” and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in “Joshua” including women, children, and trees!

6 – You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 – You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 – You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs — though excluding those in all rival sects – will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most “tolerant” and “loving.”

3 – While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in “tongues” may be all the evidence you need to “prove” Christianity.

2 – You define 0.01% as a “high success rate” when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 – You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history – but still call yourself a Christian.
www(dot)evilbible(dot)com/Top_Ten_List.htm

Listen, first of all, you’re making a large number of assumptions about your faith, and drawing conclusions about EA’s involvement in the spreading of the evolutionist theory. I am a Christian, and not just by word of mouth, either. You can trust me on that. I would not normally proclaim this, but I believe that you would discount what I have to say if I neglect to do so.

First, you need to realize that you cannot affirm that you are right and that everyone else that believes something different than you is wrong. Western culture is self-centered, and we tend to have this firm belief that we are always right and the other guy is wrong. This is not necessarily the case. Think on this: Tell me, where in the Bible does it say how God created the world? Where is the outline of his methods? Where is the timeline that says “although God is outside of time, He created the world in six days, by OUR measurement?” I don’t believe that it’s impossible to accept both creationism and evolutionary theory at the same time, while retaining the principles of my faith. To me, it also doesn’t matter if I’m wrong about how God did it. If I understood everything about God, I wouldn’t be human, would I?

Your “proof” is nothing of the sort. Have you ever taken a course in statistics? You have a sample of one individual, and you’re not looking into the details of that individual’s education, upbringing, or anything else. For all you know, that person could have been raised in a household that supports evolutionist theory in the first place. You ignorance and close-mindedness astounds me. If you ask me, you are also giving Christians a bad name, because it’s that kind of superior attitude and thought process that makes the world hate Christians as they do.

Among all the rubbish, there is some legitimately good advice peppered in your comments. It may sting to read most of them, but that’s what growing in your faith is about. You need to realize that this is absolutely not the best way to handle this, and that attacking another belief system like this will only bring more persecution right back to you. Right now, I’d venture to say you’re in a place where you need to learn to be more accepting of others. Yes, this game is an outrage to several people, including you. I’m shocked by some of its content, too, but guess what? It is absolutely NOT your or my decision to tell other people how to raise their own children. And you will fail miserably when you put forth such a biased attack on the game with a website like this. It is each family’s decision whether they let their children play the game or not. It’s more than fine to try to educate people about what they’re getting themselves into, but present the information in a neutral manner. Take care of it this way and I guarantee you won’t get 100+ comments a day, the bulk of which insulting your intelligence.

Further, don’t respond to the insults. You’re giving them power by taking what they’re saying and trying to throw it back at them in the false belief that you’re somehow above them. Please realize that you’re the one committing the first offense by insulting what many of them believe. Yes, many of those offended will respond with contempt, but do what you’re supposed to do as a follower of Christ. Turn the other cheek.

At first they annoyed me, but now I’m starting to enjoy all of the idjit commentators posting multipage diatribes against an obvious rickroll. It demonstrates the awesome power of this particular rickroll.

I don’t think we should consider this game propaganda, the reason why Electronic Arts & Maxis created this game is mainly entertainment. There is no reason to get all upset about an INNOCENT game like this. It’s not a teaching of evolution. (In which I believe, but that’s not the point) For instance, it doesn’t say anything about darwin, the story doesn’t take place HERE, and, IT’S A GAME.

Oh yeah, I actually LOVED this one:
“So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science. ” <– I don’t think your passages are enough evidence friend.

So, let’s just put this stupid discussion to rest, and start worrying about actual PROBLEMS.

“I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in”
and that, ladies and gentlemen, proves that this person is NOT a christian, unlike me!

This is truly the greatest Rick Roll of all time. And the fact that people still argue about your opinions is ridiculous. HEY, EVERYONE! IT’S A GODDAMN JOKE! IT’S BULLSHIT! HE TRICKED EVERYONE (including me)!

“Everyone I am sure knows the passage that in the beginning God created heaven and earth. But there is more then just this one that people remember.

In Genesis 1:2 there is more talk about God’s work. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science. From this God moved to creating all the creatures, notice there is never talk of creatures ‘evolving’ into other creatures, instead God is able to make the creatures as he will including man.”

Right, so because some fictional story book tells you something, you believe it?.

Why don’t you believe Hindu creation myths?, or how come you don’t believe Mordor and Sauron the dark lord doesn’t exist in Middle-Earth (which you also unlikely believe exists)?.

Seriously, what crazy kind of insane gullibility do you have?.

If you truly believe half the crap you do, then man, you actually need to be studied by medical science, because I wanna know what causes you.

If your a troll, GG sir, GG.

Also Spore’s tag line is “How will you create the Universe?”. Read that tag line again, mull on it, dwell, savour its words, look carefully at the words, CREATE and UNIVERSE.

Now, actually try the game for yourself, try out the CREATURE CREATOR, CREATE the creature to your own liking, and when you are pleased with it, release it upon the world.

Now, Mr CREATIONIST, tell me that a game with a creature CREATOR thats about CREATING things to your own liking and shaping the UNIVERSE to your will somehow honestly in any way denounces the concept of creation.

Man I’m an atheist but even I know this game is about creation if anything.

That new post clearly shows you don’twant to listen to ppl’s comments.

What’s the point making a blog if you don’ t read the comments of your articles?
And do’ t tell me you read them, cause if you would, you would change your mind just a bit and realize that the joke is over.

If this is real (and I really don’t know if it is) they I feel sorry for the poster. So twisted and wrapped up in this religious fundamentalism that they (I can’t tell if its he or she) can’t even open their eyes and look around at the world themselves.

Its a pity frankly, and I do feel sorry for this poor individual, and their son.

You are a LOSER… GET A LIFE…. and take you religious BS and stuff it up your ass… NO ONE CARES… if you want to follow that religion, fine… but dont bring that FAKE ASS story upon the rest of the world. You have the right to state your views… but I think you fighting a lost cause…. quit while youre ahead…. LOSER

I’m having a hard time deciding whether or not you are serious here. If this is a joke, then I have to say, it’s quite well done!

But, just in case it isn’t, here’s my two cents:

First of all, I’m a fellow Christian, and I understand the desire to stand up for what’s right in God’s eyes. On the other hand, the Bible itself says that the secular world operates in a different way, and that we shouldn’t expect non-Christians to behave as Christians are commanded to.

That being said, I should tell you that I’m also a gamer, and have tried Spore myself. It’s just a fun game, and I don’t believe it’s any more insulting to God than Monopoly or Go Fish. If you do not wish to have the game in your house, then that’s fine, but I think that it’s not just unfair, but downright unbiblical to try and make non-Christians behave as if they were servants of Christ.

I think you need to also take a break from the computer. Perhaps taking a walk would be a good idea, methinks. Perhaps go to the park, and do some reading or writing..?

Wouldn’t it be the greatest joke in the history of the world if the bible actually rick-rolled people?

Personally, I think it’s high time we accepted the lord Rick Astley as our lord and saviour.

That said your satire is almost a little too convincing. Of course it does serve to illustrate how the idiots of the current generation are incapable of actually READING SOMETHING before jumping on the hate-wagon.

a) You’ve got way too much time on your hands
b) To purchase a URL just for this you’ve got to have way too much money
c) You’re a disgrace to Christians
d) You’re a disgrace to gamers
e) You’re just a fucking troll

Wow, this site rules, this is the BEST viral advertise machine I have ever seen…
Oow.. wut? You are serious??? OM…..G…… (sorry for that G, but I dont think you understand internet language at all… based on the fact that you got zero knowledge about GAMES….)

I have got ONE simple question… have you ever heared about the game

POPULOUS

Just wiki it… oow wait, don’t… it will make you a sinner…

Epic fail… that is all I got to say… but still it was a good laugh… I will send it to all my friends who like good humor, especially when its NOT intended to be funny, because we love sarcasm, as much as God does.

reading it in the bible does not make it true. i understand your beliefs as i raised in them too, but when you realize that the bible is meant to be a book of teaching through metaphor and not a literal history book… you’ll not only become a more intelligent person but a better christian..

Let me quote this “In Genesis 1:2 there is more talk about God’s work. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science. From this God moved to creating all the creatures, notice there is never talk of creatures ‘evolving’ into other creatures, instead God is able to make the creatures as he will including man.”

I am sorry to say it, but you’re wrong. The Bible has been written and rewritten by man, so nothing is clear. Any book written 2000 years ago could have been changed thousands of times to turn information into something completely different.

I hate to call people names, but seriously, you reposted the “Biblical” passages to your own blog, responded to them line-by-line, and didn’t realize that they contained RICK ASTLEY LYRICS, or that they mentioned the INTERNET and Poe’s Law?

So I asked him whethere he created the world or not and he admitted he was involved, but insisted it was a mistake, and that he was young and needed the money. So there are a few bugs. Still he reassured me he and god were about to reboot and install a new version. With new features! And touchscreen!

I´m very amused about this site and it´s content. How stupid can some people be in this time, in the 21st century?

It´s only a game, that´s simulate life and has nothing to do with any kind of god or religion. Otherwise we can accuse you to prescribe us what we have to think or do and in a free country, as the US see itselves, it´s not correct.

I´m looking forward to this game and hope, that your attempt to sabotage this game fail sooner than the sun goes down today.

your website makes me ashamed of my religion. Ashamed of being a Christian. Is this religion not about respect? Respecting other beliefs? Then why would you only have creationism taught, because you believe so? How about other theories? This is ridiculous.

Your crusade against gaming industry is ludicrous. You American fundamentalists are making life increasingly difficult for other, less conservative Christians around the world. Every time I let people know I’m a Christian, I get strange looks and people take it as a fairytale.

Please stop this, respect other opinions. You’re making a fool out of yourself, and giving Christians worldwide a bad name.

Ma’am, no offense to you or your beliefs, but you are opposing other peoples beliefs. Believe creationism? Fine. Believe evolution? Fine. But I don’t think you have the right to attack other people’s believes because they’re not like yours. You are in no position nor right to teach others about God, if they want to learn, they will learn. Also, the “poor girl”, she merely told the truth, these things have been uncovered and have been confirmed. It’s quite sad that you can not accept the fact that Spore is just a GAME and not meant to convert people or whatever. Also, look further, creationism exists within the game. You can, in fact, choose the space stage and make a perfect being that needs no further evolution.

So I understand that you disagree with evolution, but isn’t the entire premise of Spore the fact that you design the creatures and therefore, isn’t Spore advocating Intelligent Design in it’s very design?

At the least, it seems to me to be a mixture of evolution and intelligent design.

You are so convincing with that creationist argument. If I didn’t know you were joking I’d think you were one of those disillusioned god fearing people who use religion as an answer to things normal human common sense answers.

So clever. Man you should get in contact with some of those TV studios. You could get your own show!!

Wicked. I haven’t laughed out loud like that since the Jehovah’s Witnesses came to my door and started telling me their limited views on the world around them.

One day I hope for no organised religion. Just an understanding of the human self and nature. Being at one with the universe requires no money, no book, no leader, no scripture. Just you.

Xron :”As I gathered, in spore you are required to make decisions about the direction in which your creature develops. That to me sounds more like an ‘intelligent design’ kind of environment than evolution.”

Nice Xron, almost exactly what i wrote in last post. but yea i agree, a evulution game would be werry boring if you could not interfere… its like to watch a movie.

i can’t believe people think “creationism” is real. c’mon, it’s pure CRAP. Science provides proof, religion instead makes you blindly believe things like this.
i’d really LOVE to see hospitals refusing to cure people like YOU (you talk sh*t about science, i suppose then that you also hate the stem cell’s researches: you hate science so science should hate you).
go suck a bible!

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able, and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

You take conclusions from the Bible as definitive and undoubted. That is unacceptable!

You can’t form questions about the world yourself. Your vision, your opinion, your way of life is so intrinsically related to the Bible, that you don’t even consider that are other people who pray for a different invisible god than yourselves.

People who can’t distinguish this are as radicals as some islamic persons you reject.

Pity.

As long as there are people who can’t formulate questions (and question the World itself, if needed) and think of themselves, we’ll still be in Middle Age.

So, what you’re saying is that just because it says so in a book, it’s true? Because I’m pretty sure I’ve read somewhere that the world was created by the penis creatures from the planet Xargorf 9 billion years ago.

Hello. I’m from Sweden and I have played spore.
You shouldn’t think bad about the game. The children will learn about the evolution theory sooner or later in school.

You should be thankful, because now your son have somthing to do when he is bored.
How can you think that you can teache somthing about the creation with your belifes but not another person with a difrent belive.
One question:
How can you belive in a book that has been rewriten over and over through over 1500 years.
I belive more on the muslims belives because there books has never been rewriten.

In a world where people die every day from starvation and disease, where all of humanity faces climate change, poverty, mental illness and a host of other global perils, the best cause you could think of, the best contribution you could make, was this!?

Shame on you. Do you think that your Lord and Savior would rather you be spending time badmouthing pop culture or helping to heal this world.

On another note, the entire universe is a symphonic praise of God. The existence of so much complexity, so many beautiful, harmonious physical and natural processes that have coalesced perfectly and allowed us to come into being, why does that have to be sacrilegious?

I am a Christian and a proud believer in evolution. We can’t pretend to understand the process of creation, and God’s methods of creation certainly deserve more credit than a paragraph in the bible. Our whole world has always been an exaltation of God, and it is so so sad that you are unable to rejoice in His creation.

I can’t believe you’d try to get me messed up in your sick creationist rant admin. I want to state for the record that I do not endorse your position, this site’s position, or the positions of any of the posters here, or Will Wright. I’ve been stood up, messed around and taken for a fool. But next time round, i’m gonna change the rules, and I don’t care about the things people say. It’s you I think about each and every day.

You’re just a dumb deluded bitch if you honestly think that god made this world. Science proves PROOF as in SOLID PHYSICAL EVIDENCE that EVERYTHING in the bible regarding creationism is FALSE. If you were brought up thinking this is true then your parents are even dumber than you and should have been arrested for child abuse. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a flood of any proportion for any duration of time, to affect the geological evidence of the Earth being more than six thousand, sixty thousand, or whatever number creationists dipshits like you want to pull out of your ass. ALL of modern biology is founded under the pretense that the everything in the theory of evolution is true, it still stands as the foundation of biology for a reason.

It is good to see that you stand up for what you believe in. That I admire about you. I do not agree with you, but I do know that the world needs people who are not afraid to debate in a serious way.

Now, the thing I do not like about you is your arguments. I would have hoped that you would come up with realistic arguments for your belief system, but this does not occur. In the hundred years christians have tried to prove that the earth is 6000 years old, that evolution is a fraud, that science is a lie, they have not achieved anything other that strenghtening scientific theories. What that strikes me is that not a single argument stands up to scrutiny. Is this not strange? After 100 years, you guys have not been able do disprove science. What does that tell us about who is realisticly right?
Hum.. Not you, I think.

There is something else as well. You being a creationist makes me assume that you are american, am i right? America is the moust freedom-loving country I know of (at least in theory, despite the fact that you guys love to force your ideas upon all of us.) Is it not strange that you have such a hard time accepting that the majority of the civilized world believe in the far-more-plausible-theory-than-crationism evolution? Why won’t you just make your own creationist-game and let the rest do as they like?

You are a disgrace to Christians. Christianity is not the only belief in this world and we have no say in what non-believers do. We can not force our beliefs upon them, only hope to guide them on the true path to god. We are not Judges of the people.

To the author:
We’re past the era of human existence where a Christian can live in blind, faithful innocence. A child’s innocence is precious, but an innocent child will be eaten alive by this world. You refer to “science” making the earth… but nobody has ever hypothesized science as a force, and that choice of words makes you appear ignorant. You don’t need to shy away from other points of view. Standing strong in your faith in the presence of other points of view will make you stand out… and that’s what Christ really wanted.

To the commenters:
You all make me sick. The internet is a cesspool of seething intolerance, and hateful rationalization. It wasn’t that long ago that athiests were quietly begging for tolerance just so their opinion could be heard. You gain some vocal following, and suddenly you don’t care about tolerance anymore…. you’re right! At the end of the day, you should remember this: creationism is a belief, and evolution is a theory. I can’t prove what I believe to you, and you truly can’t prove what you believe to me.

In the end, it’s all belief, and hating someone for their beliefs is a step backwards no matter what you believe. Let’s move past all this stupidity so the aliens will stop ignoring us, and come elevate us to the next level of existence. I’m going to be a being of pure energy! weeeeeeeeeeee!

The environment you were raised in might well “make you the woman you are today”, but it does not necessarily make the things that you learned true. You talk about Will Wright brainwashing society with his harmless video game, when you yourself have been brainwashed, in a way. And after all, I don’t think people will go to spore fore religious enlightenment or to complete a science project.

well actually i think you are a genius. It was stupid to create just another useless blog about spore… how many readers could you have? yourself, you mother and maybe your father and no1 else. instead you decide to create an argument-blog. Nice web marketing move. Oh, and yes, i understand your beliefs: marketing + link popularity + many quotations = many clicks and inpressions on you banner.

I always find it funny with the first chapters of the bible, see you say it is all true and that, but just look at it. The first two chapters. First god creates adam and eve at the same time. in the second chapter he creates adam, then he does somethings and then he creates eve. Ofcourse I’m not a biblenut myself, so not sure about the chapters.
Things cant happen two different ways at the same time. Except in quantum physics, which YOU dont beleive in….

I think part of the problem that is going on here is that the bulk of you are ignorant as to the word of God.
I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in.
I understand that everyone didn’t have the chance to be taught these things, and learn about God as my family did
so if I am going to have this kind of attention I should use it to help teach others about the words of God that
helped to shape me into the woman I am today.

“Let me just tell you, the way you are going now is not the way to open up people’s minds to the word of god.
the anger that you inspire will cause hatred towards christianity.”

Everyone I am sure knows the passage that in the beginning God created heaven and earth.
But there is more then just this one that people remember.

In Genesis 1:2 there is more talk about God’s work. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was
upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science. From this God moved to creating all the creatures,
notice there is never talk of creatures ‘evolving’ into other creatures, instead God is able to make the creatures
as he will including man.

“actually, there is another possibility. God is playing Spore on “Reality”, to put it simply.
it is by his hand, and his designs that the world was shaped and that beings evolved.
that is my belief. along with, as you might have guessed by now, Hegelianism”

People of science claim that the Earth is the way it is because of millions of years of time and science
effecting it.

“it was never claimed that science affected the evolution of creatures.”

But the Bible teaches us that God was not done with man. For we were His creation and He then spoke to Noah
in Genesis 8:21-27 after the flood. “21. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart:
“Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from
childhood. And never gonna give you up. 22. “Never gonna let you down.” 23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.”
24. “Never gonna make you cry.” 25. “Never gonna say goodbye.” 26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.”
27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”

It’s these teachings that I’ve spent my life learning, believing and becoming, that have made me the woman
that I am today.

Understand other peoples beliefs as well. Don’t try to enforce your values on other people who don’t believe. If you don’t like the game, don’t play it! Simple as that.
Christianity and other religions are brainwashing people, not video games.

OK look here I myself am not ignorant to the teachings of god I am 18 gone to church all my life went to catholic school all my life and so therefore I am not ignorant. You are not able to call anyone these things. I honestly am very offended because I know what and why I believe the things I believe. Throughout life I have always been taught that god loves everyone, flaws and all. I believe we are to live this way. Now, I don’t know everything, but I know you are full of yourself basically because you don’t follow what god has truly intended.
You are acting just like everyone you are talking about by putting down a beautiful piece of artistry. You have no room to speak, as follows I am not a strong follower anymore because people of the faith like you bashing video games. These things specifically have made me feel there is no god because of the fact that you can all be okay with saying you believe in god, and these things are wrong, but you know nothing about them. We are supposed to believe that everyone is here for a reason, so therefore these video games and creators are here for a reason. Not for controversy but for acceptance and understanding. Will Wright isn’t the wrong one in the equation, it is honestly you and all the other people who think they are so much further above other things.

There is no way someone can be this contextual about the Bible… I am christian and I myself know that the Bible is a huge joke…… Here we have a story’s wrote on a peice of toilet paper vrs. Fact….. you know what this site reminds me of… it reminds me of that old story I read in a history book about that teacher who wanted to teach evolution.. And all these bible freaks where againest it…… but guess what evolution won…… 10,000$ says this won’t be any diffrent.. you can’t just ask for support to bring down a game that “to you” teaches evolution.. well guess what… the catholic schools does to… and so does orther 90% of the world

And another 10$ says the Jewish schools do to… dare you to walk into there school and ask to bring it down in the name of the christian god for the reason of teaching evolution….

And besides… having seen the videos of pictures and movies about dicks and a naked woman poorly created.. you seem to try to get your point across… but the real point of the matter is if your children or you decide to make a penis then it was your’s or there choice… not the game designers.. they never “added” penises to the game you or your son did…

I think you should stop this whole thing before you make a bigger fool out of yourself…. that or you could admit its a hype site for your own creepy pleasure…

Your error appears to be in implicitly assuming literal Biblical Inerrancy. This proposition is not uniformly accepted (compare to literal Q’ranic Inerrancy), and may only be invoked as a primary assumption of Faith, rather than as an inference from more fundamental propositions. As a result, you appear to mistake “unbelieving” for “ignorant”, “belief that I was raised in” for “belief that is correct”, “clearly said that” for “clear that”, “we are taught and believe” for “it is true”.

Of course, I’m not sure where you found a copy of the Bible with a reference to Rick Astley and Poe’s law. =)

Hm, do you really think it’s a hoax though? I’ve talked to religious fanatics like this, and they definitely do exist. Scary, but true.

What this site reinforces for me is that people who embrace religion to an extreme actually hurt their own cause. It’s actually pretty sad. I’m a Christian, and I play (and love) Spore. The game never once changed any of my personal beliefs. Evolutionary theory and religion can coexist–unfortunately a lot of religious extremists are quite narrow minded.

Will Wright is a genius when it comes to gaming, and those who call him a “brainwasher” are the MOST weak minded of us all!

“Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never gonna give you up. 22. “Never gonna let you down.” 23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.” 24. “Never gonna make you cry.” 25. “Never gonna say goodbye.” 26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.” 27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”

I think it’s funny how the only people that saw god after he rose from the dead were the people who wrote the bible. That and the fact that whenever my pastor talks about Easter he says the Romans would have never left their post under penalty of death, my question has always been, “so what if they were just given orders to leave? Jesus was for all intensive purposes dead as a doornail, there were plenty of people at the time calling themselves the son of a god so it wasn’t unusual. Plus there was so much turmoil even during the ‘pax romana’ that there were more important things to do then make sure some corpse rotted behind a stone.” People always say “well you just have to have faith”, “faith” is for people that are content with dumb answers. I know this site is a fraud, but i just wanted to throw that out there. Plus, on topic, even if the scientists are wrong about evolution, it still gives us some kind of answer that could make even the slightest bit of sense instead of just “oh god created all that”, how am i supposed to believe that? Because if you say “faith” i’m going to have to hurt someone.

I see you feel the need to the game and yet you still feel the need to hide behind a company that will publicly register the domain to them and privately to you. You talk about the game being evil but you do not even have the courage to stand up in front of everyone and say “I “insert name here” believe this game is wrong.”

There is no God. Get a life and stop bitching about it. You don’t believe in Odin, Sventhevith, Zeus, Ra, Quetzalcoatl, and you don’t believe in 999999 other gods that humans invented. So why do you insist on stating that this 1000000th human fabrication does exist?

Ok, I’m agnostic so I don’t give too shits that you’re a Christan, But seriously, WHAT THE HELL!

Everything you written relies on the book of Genesis as “proof”.The old testament was written for the Jews AND not everything written in it applies to christianity today, otherwise we would be sending goats into the desert to carry our sins away.

I’ll accept your beliefs when:
1) you stop preaching yours to people who don’t want to hear it
2) stop all the slanderous remarks against Will Wright, he is a great man and a well respected game designer, the real monster here is you
3) you accept other people’s beliefs, i don’t deny the existence of god, but do not believe in religion, but i also accept that people do take their beliefs seriously. but that doesn’t mean you can start preaching

I’m still not sure whether or not his is a hoax, some /b/tard off 4chan, or just another crazy religious nut, enjoy the money you are getting from advertising, i hope it makes up for the directed hatred of the internet

For the hoax/rick roll, not for what is actually said. Hehe. My apologies to all the people on here slagging you off because they obviously skimmed instead of reading God saying “Never gonna give you up~”

OK people, listen up 1 spore is a decent game ITS NOT GREAT but its decent. Its special in its own, the way of being original in a mediocre gaming world.

The idiot who runs this website is one of those christan suprieists, the same ones that say all other religions are bad and not to mention most christens are fucking retarted when they belive the bible is true.
1, The bible is a mixture of much older and spread out texts. Hell, even the Catholic church admits to changing the bible over the years ITS IMPOSSIBLE to find a original, why you may ask, because they burned them all to keep the Christan people stupid.
The only real things you should take seriously from any religion is normal common since for anyone with a I.Q. over 12. Don’t steal, don’t rape, don’t lie, don’t do ass hole things, and Christians are the biggest ass holes around.. fucking hypocrites.

2, It’s a fucking video game people SO BIG DEAL. Also about the nudity thing, you have to download a spore cast to even get their content, and ya can see most of it upfront, so there is not really a chance of running into a world filled with penis monsters. Also if ya cant take a Lil nudity and are so afraid of your own body, you fail to realize 2000 years ago it was good deal to fuck a 12 year old girl or a 10 year old boy, or castrate this 12 year old boy so he could sing soprano for the rest of his life.

also to the owner of this blog SUCK MY Monsters gigantic robotic pulsating penis of fury, why because hes a religious zealot taking over the galaxy!

Best spoof site I’ve ever seen; you’ve succesfully proved atheists are bigger whiners and every bit as petty, venal, abusive, aggresive, malicious and generally unpleasant and enormously fucking stupid as the God squad. And you’ve proved it in such a short time.

All religious debate (as we now live in a world where death threats, dick waving and name calling is classified as debate) should be banned. GTFO MY INTERNET YOU DUMB WHINING COCKSUCKERS.

Also: Note that no Xtians have come here to argue with you all? That’s because they really don’t give a shit what you think. No one does.

To the “Admin”, I HAVE done the research. I HAVE read a Bible. It’s BECAUSE of that research and reading the Bible that I am Non-Religious Agnostic.

Indeed, just reading your comments is sufficient for me to not want my child exposed to the beliefs of such a religion. From bigotry and hate to lies and deceit, I consider the version of Christianity that you promote to be unsuitable, dishonorable, and unethical, and, in fact, the worshipping of a Demon-Pretender-To-The-Throne-Of-Heaven.

The one consistant fact about religion is that “God” is made in the image of the believer. Proof? Look at just the major religion known as Christianity. Now, look at all the diverse beliefs within that religion. Some favor bigotry and hate while others do not. And many have other differences regarding historical events.

They can’t ALL be right.

So, the evidence points to religion having a great deal of made up aspects. If I wanted to believe in a confirmed made up reality, I’d believe that Humanity was nothing more than a failed experiment in Unified Diversity created, not by a supreme being, but by technologically advanced beings millions of years ago.

You can say “The Bible says so, so it’s true”, but that’s blind faith, not fact.
Science provides theoretical data which can be tested scientifically. One does not HAVE to blindly accept what is told. Using available technology, one can prove or disprove the claims of evidence. The religious texts such as the Bible do NOT offer such evidence. The only claims of evidence by religious “scientists” are to automatically assume that an unproveable entity exists and then create “evidence” around the unprovable entity. Even String Theory has more backing it up than creationism.

A woman?So it’s no use calling you a fag… Just a joke, I don’t have anything against you but you can’t generalize christian people just because you don’t like a children’s game(no offense to the players) and its creator.I am christian and I had Science classes, I know that evolution exists and will never end.If we didn’t evolve, I wouldn’t be in my computer and you wouldn’t have any game to hate.

Arrrgh when I first read this the very first thing that popped into my head was poe’s law. But the more I read the more convinced I became you were serious, to the point I decided to blog about how stupid you were being. And now you go and prove that my first thoughts were right.

I’m guessing that you actually have the game and rather like it, thanks for the chuckles.

I’m at a loss of words here. You’re upset about people (not EA) creating creatures with female/male organs. Love is not permitted but you’re entirely fine with other games where you can shoot people in the head? You need to reprioritize, maybe get another braincell or two. I’m sure you’re a nice person, but seriously, put this blog down. You’re only making yourself look dumb.

I think that is one of many reasons, why more and more europeans are laughing about the typical US-american, right-winged lunatics. You americans are really really strange people. Not in a positive way of thinking, of course. At least that’s entertainment for us, looking over the great ocean to see what your population is doing there …

But … seeing all the ads on this page, the purpose of it should be clear. I hope so.

Is this fucking serious? If you are… the whole concept of creationism is retarded if you look at scientific evidence and findings of historic creatures. If you are not serious, this is a fantastic joke

Sorry… But the one writing this should really get out of the Christianity nutcase and show some cultural understanding. Its like your belief is the only one in the world, which is luckily not the case.

God you are stupid . Your pathetic god and ignorant views of how the world was created out of FEAR and IGNORANCE. Do you really think in your PEA-SIZED brain that god created this world in 7 days. ALL of science and common logic (which you have none of either) PROVES you and your god theories to be dead wrong.

You are just like a typical christian, myopic viewpoint and you never look at from a realistic point of view, only from a one-sided point of view to PROVE to everyone your god exists. If you could look at it from a normal view, you would see god DOES NOT EXIST, but SCIENCE DOES and CAN BE PROVEN.

God you are a stupid bitch. Your pathetic god and ignorant views of how the world was created out of FEAR and IGNORANCE.

I would suggest you don’t label anyone as ‘ignorant’ in your posts, as it demonstrates an extreme disrespect for the beliefs of others (which is ironic coming from you based on what you post).

I respect your beliefs, and I respectfully disagree with them. I ask you give my beliefs the same respect, whether or not they are in-line with yours.

It is not that I was ‘without the benefit of the same upbringing that you had’, I actually was raised Christian – and when I reached College age I made an intelligent choice about the world around me and what I believed existed. I was not without opportunity, I made a choice.

A person being raised Christian, Hindu, Muslim, or whatever else has no benefit over anyone else. Each person has the right to choose what they believe, and all beliefs should be treated equally as long as they do no harm to those around them.

Whatever your beliefs, you should respect my choices as I respect yours.

I don’t see your problem. Most of the people don’t even believe in the big lie anymore. Some God (we never get to see) is there and made us out of his self image. If you can’t prove it by science, in my eyes and in lot’s of other eyes it doesn’t exists. If God made us into his self image, then why are there wars on this world? And people starving. If you can explain that sort of things and still believe in God, I’m impressed! There’s nothin wrong with Spore. It’s just a fun game to play from Electronic Arts. The church and it’s followers disallowed Science. Without science you couldn’t even have this webpage. So you believe in science? You’re not fully christian :O? You don’t believe a book and religion made by humans to controll other humans and be like a house ped and it’s owner?:O No!
believe what you want to believe, but keep it to yourself and don’t make such a fuzz about nothing. Thank you….

Please remember not to take things so seriously. This is a game, if you personally find it offensive do not watch it or play it. But to be so unreasonable about a work of fiction and fantasy is utterly silly. Find more important issues to be worried about.
If you as a parent do not want your children playing it do not buy it for them. This is your responsibility.
P.S. Just because you believe in something does not make it right or wrong – it is just your belief and the rest of the world does not have to agree with you.

if you don’t like the game then don’t play it, is that so hard to do?
God is YOUR belief not OURS so don’t try to “CONVERT” US to something WE don’t believe in.
YOU DO have the right to say what YOU think.
But don’t try to persuade US to something else.

Let me break it down for in a civil manner. You talk of the Bible as being the book of all truth but tell me: is the bible not written by mortal men. Men who in the end knows nothing of a possible higher beings thoughts and acts. The writers did not vitness the beginning of the earth, neighter did they see the flood. The were mere mortals like you and me. They realized that people need guidance so they created a god and with him they went out to make the world a better place. This is many a sentury ago and they did not pocess the knowledge that we do and therefore they wrote as they did.

You know by stirring up this anti-Will Wright stuff your proving how immature you are. Come on, grow up. Seriously if you’re that obsessed with the dude, why don’t you fucking marry him instead of whinging on the internet about it. There’s a shit load of religious people that love Spore and you don’t see them complaining about it. I bet you want Spore banned don’t you? What’s next, forcing people to have the same beliefs as you? Let’s ban all other religions whilst we’re at it, and force people to go to church. We could ban sex as well, that’s a sin. You’re a fucking idiot.

Well..I’ve been reading this crap for a couple of days, and I finally had to leave a comment.

This is either one of the biggest trolls I’ve seen lately, or you are a seriously stupid “woman”.

Spore is just a game, a FUCKING GAME. If you don’t want your kids playing it, ok, don’t fucking let them play it. Why don’t you talk about the other games that contain evolutionism in it? (i.e. E.V.O. , Seventh Cross Evolution, ect, ect.)

I mean for fucks sake, how about you make a game dealing with the THEORY of creationism. I’m sure that will sell as good as spore is. *cough, cough*

Now if you give me some proof that evolution never happened, and we just magically appeared by some fucking god you have, prove it to me. with more than stupid words from an outdated book.

OMFG how blind we’ve all been, the bible says evolutions a lie! And if a book, written hundreds of years ago by people who didn’t have science, didn’t understand the universe, were sexist, homophobic and racist, then it must be true.

Did none of you even *read* the post before commenting? Why are you still ranting? We all got owned. We were Rick Rolled *hard*, the best one I’ve ever seen. Brilliant site, did exactly what it was supposed to, congratulations.

Seriously tho, They say that god created all, and that he created humans in his own image, that would mean,,, that god is gay, a necrophiliac, a pedophile and all that shit. SO HAHA YOU BELIEVE IN A MULTIGaypedo corpsefucker, well.. isnt that twisted

you are ridiculus, you will believe in a book or in years and years of reserch???? or you is funcking crazy or you dont have anything better to do in life.. go make something productive and stop saing bad things about awesome games ¬¬

all those other “gods” aren’t the real deal; pagen shit. It’s actually me here Admin (Admin happens to be her actual name btw people, the son she speaks of is named Cheif)

If you don’t believe me yet have no fear, those nasty blemishes will go away and martha hasn’t called you yet because she’s just been very busy. just letting you know…

anyways now that I have proven that I am in fact the real Almighty (did I mention I have a son named Jesus?) I wanted to say: keep up your blessed work here! I can’t get enough of this stuff, hell I’ve already put off building my birdhouse and a new planet to replace Pluto (scientist bastards ruin EVERYTHING!) by an hour to read this all.

Other then the minor butcherings in my name here and there you guys are a real hoot. keep it up will yeah? fuck knows why else I keep you hairless apes around for.

Laddy-buck, you’re protesting a work of FICTION. This is what’s meant by tilting at windmills. Are you a proponent of book banning or burning big heaping piles of LPs? You can’t attempt to determine the tastes (or deride the intellect) of a fair cross-section of the populace without inciting backlash, and that’s what you’re coming up against now: not ignorance of god, but anger with the conceit that you & your ilk somehow know better than the rest of the world. No offense, but you don’t.

Like it or not, video games are getting progressively closer to being a legit form of art, and all art is is storytelling that’s reliant on the viewer to interpret it. You’re interpreting it based on your own biases, not on anything that has to actually do with the game itself. If you’re going to try and arbitrate as to whether the game is good or bad for people, you should actually be in a position to make such a judgment. You simply don’t have the qualifications or education to make that decision. Again, tilting at windmills.

Personally I couldn’t give a toss about video games, myself, I find them to be a waste of time… but I find it curious that people like yourself consistently misread their religious beliefs as somehow being ‘under attack’ by science and/or pop culture when nothing of the kind is actually taking place. Is your faith so easily shaken? It’s the creationist / fundie propaganda you’ve been swilling that’s to blame, here, as neither science nor religion are mutually exclusive– no matter how much you’d like to believe otherwise. Culture wars are, by and large, all noise and no signal; they’re for sheltered xenophobes & the easily-startled. Whose side are YOU on?

Admin, I think that this line in your post is key, but not in the way you think:

“I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in.”

Yes. That’s actually a good point. In fact, it’s the most important point. You believe what you were taught to believe as a child, as do most people. It’s why the vast majority of children in Christian-dominated countries (like ours) grow up to be Christian, while kids in Muslim countries grow up to be Muslims, etc. It’s not a *virtue* that you hold the beliefs you were raised in; it’s just human nature.

The real question is: have you ever bothered to critically examine what you were taught to believe as a child? Or do you follow them just as blindly now as you did then?

I think the people who come here insulting and berating you are just as ignorant as they claim you are. I do hope, however, that you are open to at least a little critical questioning.

As I said before! You need to start making some money from this website soon! You generate so many page views!! Sell Jesus T shirt or some Anti Spore Bible. Or have a special package for Spore + Bible for $49.99.

Wow, so let me get this straight. Because YOU don’t like this game (keep in mind you have NO obligation to buy it whatsoever) then it should be taken away from people who do? Your argument is ridiculous and it’s because of people like you that this country is going down the shitter. Keep your religious views to yourself and stop trying to “educate” the rest of us with your beliefs. To sum up my point, IT’S A FUCKING GAME. Have a nice day.

I respect your toughts and even tought I’m not christian I believe in god AND in evolution, the only thing I don’t like about this website, is how you don’t like that Will Wright according to you is converting other people (not only kids buy vodeogames), there is also non-christianity believers that doesn’t like you going around imposing your beliefs, basically your doing the same thing you think Will Wright is making.

Please understand that the crhistianity is not the only belief people is allowed to have, and as many people have said, Christianity along with evolution is just a theory, there isn’t any factual proof that God created the earth in 7 days, in fact the first part of the bible I think is what really happened, is a story to be interpreted kind of like methaphors and not believe what says in the genesis and exile actually happen, I understand that is the way you were raised, but you need to be more open minded, it’s just a game and thus only made to entertain people, the same happened to comics and jazz and stuff like that and after all this years they haven’t ruined the earth.

And to other people bashing christianty, if you fell insulted and angry when someone bashes what you believe in, why do the same, if you dont believe in god fine, but dont go around bashing other people.

Hi, Mr. Antispore.com web creator!
Because of that all and your quotations of Genesis, Bible,… Can u tell me please, when dinosaurs lived? In The Bible there is no word about them. And all of us we know they lived on Earth, its a fact that you cant refutate.

You morons, don’t you know the word ´´game´´? This is a big hipocrisy, telling that we need to respect each other, but someone who did a game that u disagree don’t deserve respect….That’s why we have wars, because of ignorant people like you. OF COURSE the world and the living beings were created by the evoluvionism teory, did u really think a magic being came from nowhere and ´´created´´ everything in 7 days? Come on guys, grow up, believing on this is the same as believing in santa clauss

Yea…I was raised in those beliefs my entire life, too. That’s how I know they’re full of crap, but a “sheeple” like you who desperately needs something to hang on to can’t realize that. You swallow their fairy tale garbage and love it, even fight for it, while your church aka the richest, boy loving institution in the world sit back and laugh….congrats you waste of life.

If there is a God, wich I don’t believe (and I have nothing against people who believe), I’m sure that he looks down on you saying “Oh, man… This guy accually believes the lies he’s telling these people. And shit! He’s using my name in vain. That son of a bitch!”

“I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in.”

This is perhaps the single greatest flaw with religious thinking. The fact that you are simply a product of shifting statistical probabilities lends nothing to the credence of your arguments.

” I understand that everyone didn’t have the chance to be taught these things, and learn about God as my family did so if I am going to have this kind of attention I should use it to help teach others about the words of God that helped to shape me into the woman I am today.”

There seems to be a disconnect with reality, have you ever seriously considered your position from the eyes of a person of a different faith(or lack thereof)?

P.S. No need to respond, I’ll probably never visit this site again, and I’m sure I know what the response would be like anyways.

So, yeah, kinda sad that you’re taking a wonderfully created game, which at no point says anything about the origin of humans themselves, and forcing your retarded GOD bullshit on it and everyone who likes the game, just because you want to pick a religeous battle with the rest of the world.

Don’t worry, one day, all you religeous fucks that believe what you believe is better than what everyone else believes will all kill eachother off, and the rest of us will be able to live in peace, and not be nagged by fuckers like you.

Sure, christains have some good morals being taught in their churches, but that’s all it is, is morals, and if you take it beyond that at all, you’re just a fucking moron. Hell, the book you all worship was written by some guy hyped up on some super hallicunagentics (fuck the spelling, don’t care right now) and believed every word of it. Just because someone made a manual for retards on how to be moral and polite dosen’t mean all the stories are true.

People like you should be allowed to have access to the internet. Talk about just spreading trash and making a good thing turn to shit…

i used to call myself christain, but not if that means i will be associated with fucking stupid nutters like you. y dont you go and do some real good in this world, go 2 africa like my mother did and help the people out there. u r a fucking waste of life. ITS A BLOODLY GAME< FUCKING GROW UP U STUPID TWAT BIBLE BOY

I don’t see why you guys are so hyped about this. This site isn’t “pushing beliefs on you” or “spreading misinformation” any more than the game is. It’s not like Spore is broadcast for everyone to see without them going out and buying it. It’s not like this web site is even discover-able without looking for it.

Petty Internet-Squabbling over religion vs. science is ridiculous. If it were going to get anywhere, it wouldn’t take place on a message board or a comment thread.

In the end, the game never claims to be non-fiction. This is like being angry at Star Wars because it tells people that The Force is real and never mentions God.

ok, since we are focusing on biblical knowledge and fighting about who is right. explain to me this.

Genesis 4:16 So Cain went out from the presence of the Lord and lived in the land of Nod, 41 east of Eden.

See, this is where it ends. If Adam and Eve gave birth to Cain and Abel. Then Cain kills Abel. And Cain goes off to the land of Nod, East of Eden. Then this is immediate affirmation that God did not create everything in the world. God in previous chapters only created Eden, not the world and the universe. when God said “Let their be light”, it could have been symbolic of actually switching on a light bulb or some other mysterious thing.

Coming down on an Incredible game like Spore is amazingly stupid. Christians defending something sooo obscure such as the bible and the Creationist viewpoint. Even Christians can’t refute pure science. For me, Evolution is the only answer to how we came to be. Again, explain to me what is Nod, and who created Nod, and also, did Cain marry his mom and have kids? Because after that verse I posted above, it gets kinda weird from then on.

I have been raised a Christian too, and I know that about the first few books of the old testament, are not true. Adam represents man, Eve represents temptation and the Snake represents evil. With Noah, it would be impossible to put two of every animal on one single boat. He would have had to travel all around the world first of all to two of every animal. How do I know all of this. I have been going to Catholic School for 13 years know. Priests and Nuns have taught me this.

Come on man, we both know that the idea of Evolution was already banned in schools, we don’t need it banned altogether. If you think of something an you know it will sell then you sell it that’s how we roll as a race. I’m glad to see that you realized that Jack Thompson is a bad at his job, but just realize one more thing, the game is out, it’s selling like hot cakes an it wont change.

First off, I have a question. What kind of authority do you have as a religious official that makes you believe that your beliefs and actions (the creation of this site and call of removing the video game Spore from stores) are right in the eyes of God? While it is the responsibility of Christians to spread the word of God to other people, it is NOT the responsibility of Christians to shove their beliefs down other peoples throats because a person doesn’t agree with the religious references made by someone else (in this case, the references to evolution and creationism found in Spore). Do you know why that is? It is because God gave free will to all people. That’s what great about both being Human and living in America. People are free to choose what religious preferences they want, and are free to express themselves. Banning the game Spore from store shelves would encroach on that American AND God-given right.

I can understand that the reason for your actions stems from your desire to shelter your children from something that you deem being unsuitable for your household. Now think about this: Would you want someone else telling you how to raise your children? Of course you wouldn’t – you have your own beliefs on how you want to raise your children. Wouldn’t the banning of this game based on it’s religious innuendo be akin to restricting the freedom of expression and the allowance of engaging in an activity?

((This is the update))
As far as knowing what your beliefs exactly are, you have yet to tell exactly what those religious beliefs are. You have said that you were a Christian, and that much is established. You have, however, not provided the public with your denomination. As you should be fully aware, while all Christians believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior, different denominations of the religion interpret the Word of God (The Bible) in different ways. Your speaking of God’s creation of man has caused me to remember something. What are 7 days to God? Before anything was created, time could not have been measured in the same sense that man measures time, because the Sun and the Earth had yet to be created. Thinking that Time has always been would be a fallacy to the Christian faith – therefore God created time, but when? The 7 days that God used to make everything may very well have not been seven days in the sense that Man measures 7 days. Again, this is all up to how a person interprets the Bible. Some people will agree with what I said (to allow both Religion AND science to be feasably correct), and some people will disagree and say that God gave the timeline in such a way that Man would understand it – 7 days.

In the post in which you congratulate yourself for getting a “nude” Spore creation, I have found several CRITICAL error’s in your logic. Yes, you posted a video of a game creation that was meant to resemble a nude women. What you did NOT do is indicate the username of the person that created the creation, you did NOT indicate where the creation could be found, and you did NOT indicate where you received this information. Any of that would be critical to directly link yourself to the removal of this creation. As could be seen in another post HERE on this site, Spore users have created millions of creatures (hence your post “Mr. Wright Strikes Again”). You ONLY provided a visual representation of one such creature that simulates nudity, it would be nigh impossible for EA and Maxis to scour it’s vast database for one such creation – unless, that is, EA and Maxis had already established their own methods of analyzing and removing creations that may be considered offensive. I can assure you that posting a YouTube video of a “nude” model is not an effective tool with which to search a database containing millions of pieces of content – so the only logical answer is one of two things. 1) Another Spore user saw the content, and through the use of the Spore website, submitted relevant data necessary to remove the creation from the database or 2) EA and Maxis have their own methods of screening for inappropriate content (which for millions of creations over the course of only about 2 weeks is no small task).

There are two posts here that discuss the problem of inappropriate content in the game. There is a HUGE problem with what you’re saying about the game. The way you’re representing the game, it’s as if you’re implying that players will without a doubt encounter these inappropriate creations, and that EA and Maxis encourage users to create these “nude” creatures. This is FAR from the truth. No nude or inappropriate game creature has come from, or is endorsed by the game’s creators. The only source of this inappropriate content is from immature end users that think that it’s funny to play through the game with a creature shaped to resemble genitalia. And as has been witnessed already, EA and Maxis have been working to remove this content from the accessible user-created content. Allow me to give an example of what is going on here. I’m sure we can all agree the Crayola makes their crayons for creative use on the part of the end users – people that want to draw and color. People are free to color and draw whatever they want: plants, animals, scenery, and – because they have a right to create what they will – genitalia (I’m certain you can see how I’m relating this to the ability of Spore players to create whatever they want). Sometimes those same people who think it’s funny to draw inappropriate pictures will also think it’s funny to put these pictures up where people can see them (related to the uploading of inappropriate content onto Spore’s internet servers). Now are we to go after Crayola for creating the tools that were used to create inappropriate images (Spore being the tools for creation)? No. We try to find who created the content and give them a slap on the wrists. Going after Crayola (EA and Maxis) wouldn’t solve anything, if the content in question was created by immature end-users.

From this site, I’m noticing a sizable amount of contempt for Will Wright. This is something that I’m having a huge problem seeing from a person claiming to be a good, Christian person. Will Wright is a person, just like everyone else. He has the same rights to believe what he wants, and he has the same rights to express his beliefs freely. He chose to express himself through creating a video game that had a strong basis in the concepts of evolution and creationism. How is it that he must be condemned for his choice to create a game that expresses his beliefs? Just because it doesn’t contain Christian values, it shouldn’t be banned from all people. And if you still think that is should be, an alternative view (doesn’t reflect my personal view but is to make a point): Because the movie Passion of the Christ contains Christian principals, I, as a muslim, believe that the movie should be removed from all store shelves because it is something that is against what I believe. (note: I am not a muslim, but am making a point regarding different religious views) It is impossible to argue with this logic. What you are asking is based solely on your religious preference and is against one of the fundamental values of living in the United States of America – the freedom to believe in and pursue whatever religious preference a person may want.

I have to address your desire to get the game removed through the means of a Court of Law. As I have already established, the desire to remove the game from store shelves stems from religious beliefs. That fact prevents an American Court of Law to enforce such a demand – due to the separation of church and state. The government cannot interfere with something based on it’s religious preference – the only exception being if the thing in question is a public nuisance and interfering with the operations of a business or establishment. And as for the claims that illicit content can be found in the game, I have also established that all content that could be considered inappropriate is created by end users, something that EA and Maxis has no control over. You have no claims with which would be sufficient to remove the game from store shelves. None.

Now I think it’s fair to tell you what kind of person I am. My mother took myself and my sister to our Lutheran Catholic church every Sunday right up until we moved when I was 10. Since then, my parents divorced and I’ve been forced to live with each parent have 50% custody – meaning I would stay with my mother one week and my father the next. Now I’m 18, sleeping on a couch at my grandfather’s in California’s Bay Area, going to college during the week and working to pay my bills on the weekend. My life is pretty chaotic, and I’ve been friends with people from every religion, every race, in all sort of economic standings. I have very little stability in my life, but the little I have I like to believe comes from the many viewpoints I’ve encountered as a result of my unstable lifestyle. It’s up to you to listen to these ramblings of a 18 year old, I just wanted to make MY beliefs known. I will repost this from time to time (with updates if applicable).

Completely Rickrolled me. This is now an epic site. Everyone that is still bashing your site in comments (who clearly didn’t even read the post and simply nerdrage) need to be corralled into an empty city and simply bombed to dust.

If there was an award for this kind of stuff, I’m sure you would win it hands down.

Hey AnotherChristian, treat god with more respect! Don’t call him a “man”, btw you should be glad that he had taken the time to come and read some blogs! That means that some day he may even read mine!

Also, have you seen a little South Park lately?? Did you know that believing in god is as stupid as believing in a spaghetti monster sitting up there in a cloud??

So, for the long white bearded mighty old guy’s sake, stop saying such bullshit like “Spore is satanic, Spore is evil, Spore is funny”! I know you christians want to spill all the fun in the world, but please let us brained ppl keep it for us to use it.

Oh my GOD! I love whoever hacked you, just because it’s funny. Stop taking things so seriously, please. This game isn’t meant to educate in any way shape or form. Stop taking everything so seriously. I’m Christian. I enjoy this game. I still think God created most all of us on Earth, planets, universe, if not he’s somewhere there. I’m still an adolescent, still learning things about science and such.

it’s amazing to witness poe’s law in affect. i’m astounded how i too was taken up in it. though, in my defense, i feel my responses weren’t so out of line…

after all, when i see someone so pro-creationist, my first knee-jerk reaction is to help them understand that our world is actually far more impressive without a god. and that our successes are that much more effective with out a god. curse you, internet anonymity!

Lady you realize that this is just a game made for FUN! It’s ENTERTAINMENT! Theres nothing in this game that goes against creationism and in fact if you think about it actually supports it considering the person playing the game is in essence playing a virtual God. This game was made because it is a great concept for a game and it would be fun to play. Which is why there was so much hype up to its release! Gamers are excited about having the option to create there own species and civilization from the ground up, its something that has never been done before and its a great idea. There is no hidden agenda that Will Wright and EA have here. There goal is to make fun and innovative games for ENTERTAINMENT and in by doing so making a hefty profit. The fact that you try to champion a cause to stop the production and sale of a very well liked videogame is absurd and it offends me that you are trying to infringe upon my rights as an American to play such a game. You and people like you are whats wrong with this country and as a christian myself it OFFENDS me greatly that you use and twist OUR religion for stupid shit like this. Do something with your life that actually means something or matters, like, I dunno, praying for the children in Darfur instead of attacking a videogame!

“So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science. From this God moved to creating all the creatures, notice there is never talk of creatures ‘evolving’ into other creatures, instead God is able to make the creatures as he will including man.”

You say, “God” created the Earth. Even if that were true, it’s proven that the world went through different periods of time, for instance, the warming and cooling periods. Through this, even if he did create all those things, as you claim, that doesn’t mean they are not capable of bloody change.

“But the Bible teaches us that God was not done with man.”

Okay. the bible. Who cares about the bible? Christians? That’s it. It’s a bloody book. I consider my WoW Books to be my bible. Does that mean that everything that they say or state in it is true? Not in the least. There are plenty of big books that state things like this, like the dozens of scientific evidence that are considered, I remind you, non-fiction, so does that mean that every thing they say is true? It doesn’t.

You need to realize this before you go throwing your opinions out there as fact. You have no proof. Faith? I had faith that my mother was going to live through cancer, but she didn’t. I had faith that I would have a good childhood, but I didn’t. I have faith that I’ll never die of what my mother died of, but that’s 97% not going to happen either.

You honestly think will right is evil and imposing beliefs of evolution onto people? the guy who hacked your page will be some guy off 4chan, not will wright or anyone that is “scared” of what you write on this page.

i do find the fact your calling us ignorant to the word of God when you say “So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science. ” its all fair that you have your beliefs but to then you claim science is wrong is you just being ignorant yourself, what do you have to say about that?

At the end of the day, its entertainment and if you chase after every tv show, film or game that somehow shows different beliefs than yours, then your going to have a pretty sad life.

They found microorganisms that can live in space.
As in in out space. In a vacuum. No oxygen. No water. Maybe a little ice, like on a comet. Possibly in something like a meteor. Completely unaffected by space radiation.

So, that being said, it isn’t a big step to assume that such a minor organism could hitch a ride on a floating piece of space debris and end up on another planet.

Thus the pan-spermia method of seeding life is further supported (that’s how life begins in Spore for the record).

Now I don’t much like spore, but I am a man of empiricism and science. And I know, as a psychologist, that religious beliefs are attributable to most cases of mental illness. I can also argue that many cases of mental illness are the result of emotional states (such as depression or anxiety) which are caused by irrational beleifs. Sometimes these irrational beleifs may be religious in nature. More-so if they are evangelical in nature and take written word literally.

That being said, I would highly suggest that all young earth creationists try to understand that truth is something that is based on rationality and not on something you read in a book that was written by some people in a desert who “created” a thing called morality that you apparently think is somehow tied to the text itself (even though you’re reading a poor translation of the written word at that). While you are entitled to your opinion, I also think that with freedom we must also have truth. The truth will set you free.

So… If you want to be free, beleive in truth. If you are a masochist and want to feel pain and live your short life in an oppressed and generally unhappy manner (like the blog writer here who seems to have a big problem with everyone) then by all means do let your beleifs prevent you from living your life to the fullest. But remember this:

If you can have the freedom to protest something, it should, just as much, be free to exist, be sold, and enjoyed by children. As children are innocent and don’t need to be tainted by the vile hand of irrational beleifs. These beleifs formulated in childhood will only lead to greater anxiety later in life.

If you want people to be respectful of you then you need to be respectful of them. Accept that your beliefs aren’t the only ones there are. I am an atheist, and I have friends in almost every religion. Even a heathen. If you don’t like the game, don’t play it. You can’t truthfully say that you thought people would be nice and try to help you in your goal, whatever that may be. People play games for entertainment, and most of the ideas in the game will conflict with your ideas. But keep in mind that these are worlds of make-believe. They don’t exist inside the realm of reality. They are a way to escape reality.

But the Bible teaches us that God was not done with man. For we were His creation and He then spoke to Noah in Genesis 8:21-27 after the flood.
“21. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never gonna give you up.
22. “Never gonna let you down.”
23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.”
24. “Never gonna make you cry.”
25. “Never gonna say goodbye.”
26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.”27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”

That’s not a bible verse. It’s a Rick Roll. >.> (Too all of you fools who are giving flaming anti-Christian talks: This only proves how easily you’re swayed by your hate, since you know nothing of the Bible, and don’t bother reading through entire posts to the end. I mean, come on. “27″ is so obvious, it’s not funny.)

Okay so I came across this website on a games review site and my first thoughts where rather humours, however… I strongly believe in evolution and class myself as an environmental scientist (I’m not a physicist, if I was I’d have a lot of theory’s and no proof) and I’m pretty active in some games.

So I bought spore and played it and yes…. it’s based on evolution but for one it’s not accurate and two it’s a game of enjoyment.

I DO believe in “god” to an extent, if you ask me if I believe that a man on a cloud created the world in 6 days and had a day off then no… Unfortunately I don’t believe that however I believe the interpretation of god can be used in many ways, a force, a being whatnot.

Evolution is the latest theory in the sack and has been for many years now (more than a fair few of *wink*) and its an extremely evidential point, we now have the technology to research these theory’s and prove or disprove them. I’m sure everyone has heard of the ALICE program going on by CERN, with this it will recreate the conditions after the big bang theory, this on its own will help prove the theory of evolution.

Science is now promoted throughout the world in schools as it’s the most logical response to what is going on, and if god did create us then I’m sure he/she/it will have expected for us to do this.

If you have an open mind then the theory of evolution should be at least considered, I respect all faiths, Christian, Muslim, Islam, ect ect ect but I believe it is unjust to attack a scientific theory which is based on logic and even more so through a game based for enjoyment.

I believe this is a “good game” because it does help with educational purposes! Every single human on this planet has the choice to choose what they believe in and I believe that strongly with the debate with evolution and god, if a child wishes to believe in god they may, if evolution they may, if both they may!

Something I was thought in the lab long ago was that both theory’s can worth together and scientists can believe in god just like anyone else.

I believe in why you’re standing up like this however I believe it is childish to attack the cooperation and in modern society it is a great shame to have a narrow minded individual. Please research your argument from both sides before making a debate on what is and what isn’t, beliefs are something we need but foolishness isn’t.

I just want to comment on the Noah thingy though, since around the 1960’s scientists (glaciologists) have taken core samples from the Arctic which basically allows us to step back in time and see weather and temperature conditions in the past from thousands of years ago… This also allows us to see climate changes like “flooding”. Also things about the water cycle and continuation of our present climate in the troposphere, the landscape can tell us much about how water has shaped the planet and unfortunately a great flood just doesn’t match up.

If it not up to me if someone believes in god or not but honest there is so much that people who strongly believe in this one single path should research on as it opens your mind up to so many ideas.

Spore is a fun and educational game (in a way :P) which allows you to relax, I would much prefer kids playing this then Shoot em up games before bed time! If I had the choice of my children becoming Scientists or mad raving lunatics with guns, I’d pick the first!

Again, i respect your beliefs I believe in god to an extent, just not in the physical form of a “person” (non gender preference) who likes sundays off.

Hope you take the time to read this but doubt you will but would like to see and hear your comments.

At the end of the day, it’s a fun game for entertainment. Education is a bonus and I would prefer our next generation to be as open about evolution as with all choices in life, with or without god.

It’s amazing how fast ppl can jump to conclusions without reading… Calling this blogger retarded, dumb and so on and so on…

Just read the last blog from start to end an d realise all you flamers were the dumb fucks;0 and apologise plix;)

Gotta love it…

Okay just one question for you. Adam and Eve had two kids right? Cain and Abel. Well in Genesis Cain kills Abel and is forced into the land of Nod. And i quote “And Cain knew his wife; she conceived, and bore Enoch:…” WHERE THE FUCK DID THIS WOMEN COME FROM?!?!?! There are four people one earth Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. Now another women?????? Your bible makes perfect sense doesn’t it…

Haha wow what a rick roll, seriously if you havent read the whole thng your an idiot and flaming it without finnishing is stupid. Damn seems like we got rick roll’d. looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

That’s a Rick Astley quote on there clearly meaning that this website was made for the lulz WHICH MEANS ALL THIS WEBSITE IS A JOKE. Gah, you guys srsly need to get your heads out of your arses and notice the obvious.

How peapole can believe in the Fictional character God in the bible that i cant under stand. But evry one has there belife and faith. I think that peapole that believe to much in a ideology or a religion lose the knowledge of thinking them self. “One good exemple in that to much belife is bad. There was in poland a communist party member that said he did not belive that a communist run factory could pollute the nature, becouse it was run buy communists and evry one knows that a communist cant do anything wrong.

Someone needs to tell some of these idiots to scroll to the bottom and read the bible verses…

This was a JOKE!

I have to say though, it is pretty awesome to see how many response you get from people that don’t bother reading something completely before they decide they want to chime in on something. Most of you people are idiots.

Okay just one question for you. Adam and Eve had two kids right? Cain and Abel. Well in Genesis Cain kills Abel and is forced into the land of Nod. And i quote “And Cain knew his wife; she conceived, and bore Enoch:…” (Gen 4:17) WHERE THE FUCK DID THIS WOMEN COME FROM?!?!?! There are four people on earth Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. Now another women?????? Your bible makes perfect sense doesn’t it…

I’m just curious as to why a belief in God’s hand creating the world and evolution are by nature mutually exclusive. Why is it that God could not have directed the path of evolution or created the concept of evolution in the first place knowing that the way the world was set out would, in fact, cause all the life that exists today to form in that pattern?

But then, I think that it’s just a game. I think God wants people to have fun and if making silly, ridiculous creatures that go around evolving weird parts is fun, then where is the harm? It’s not like it’s breaking any of the commandments that were given forth in the Bible. And it’s not really harming anyone who isn’t looking for a reason to be offended in the first place, as far as I can tell.

You bunch of brainwashed fuckasses. You assault a company of beeing wrong, yet you dont have in mind what they have been taught.
The question here is: Who decides you are the only ones in the world to be right? There are many religions, and all have different views on life. Accept it!

Here are some things for you assraped sons of sandniggers.

If god is allmighty and allknowing, then he should be able to create a stone so heavy that he himself couldnt life it. That indicates he isnt allpowerful. But if god does not apply to human logic and can create this stone so heavy he couldnt lift it but still beeing able to, he would stand over logics, and therefor he cant exist.
The same goes about the allknowing part. Can god ask himself a question he doesnt know the answere to?
Those situations creates paradoxes that might only be paradoxes to us humans, and not to good, and as mentioned before. If god doesnt apply to these laws, then he stands above logics and therefor he cannot exist, because, objects who doesnt apply to logics cant exist.

You are a stupid woman who believes that because God is perfect, and because we were created in God’s image, that we are perfect. What this really translates to, since you are just like us and totally unable to comprehend the idea of perfection, is that you want to think you’re better than everyone else. It is now clear that you are just a miserable, sad, insecure little twat with nothing else to do besides post MULTIPLE stories a day about some guy you’ll never meet who’s doing something that might never have affected you if you had just learned to humbly stand aside and let God take care of him.

I know this has been said before, but I am now fully convinced that YOU, madam, are the one who believes you are God. I’m not going to say anything more, because just as He will with Will Wright, God will have exactly his way with you. Pay attention to what he says, because at this point being disobedient would be a bad fucking idea.

Yes, I’m a Christian and I said Fucking. You make me so angry I could scream.

(descended implying that apes are actually a higher form of life, if you evolutionists are so smart wouldn’t it be ascended)

Is kind of a rude attack, this is modern English interpretation, if you refer to something in the chain of evolution we refer to it going back in the chain not “up” in the chain (we refer to time lines as going back… not forward, if it was ascending we would be going in to the future, it a simple matter of words in English) [Translate and it will be different]

Sorry but that comment was unfair, remember a lot of what your using is made by science! Including your computer, the materials used to make micro-chips aren’t natural.

Plus “monkeys” are overrated, if you studied the physical properties we cold our DNA structure is very similar, it is more than likely a mutation.

I respect your “fight” against EA, and i wish you the best. But respect scientific study.

Btw, I seriously doubt that the creator of the game is out to get you. You are posting on the internet and there are plenty of people on the internet that love to make fun of martyrs.

((Also, it’s descended instead of ascended because you descend from your ancestors. You are descended from your father and mother, and them from their parents etc. Evolutionists didn’t make the phrase up, they just used an already existing phrase that people were using from lineages.))

Ok, so there are all of these “bible games” video games, and no one cares. but when someone makes a game that YOU don’t believe in, then all of a sudden it’s evil. you are just a huge hypocrite. Find something more useful to do with your time.

I’ve skimmed over every little thing you have to say against the game, and I have to admit, you’re giving it a good shot, but because you’re making yourself any enemy out of the players, such as myself, i’m now going to have to give my own shot at ripping apart every thing you’ve said.

First off, though no religion says it is right, is it not possible that by gods will we evolved? Secondly, the game may alow of some stupid folks to make creatures which do not apear very E rated, but there is no design issued straight forward in the game as such. Next, let us take a look at what you’re doing here, you’re trying to tell us all, the whole world, since you’re posting online, that your religion is the only right one in the world; is it not possible you’re wrong? or that they’re all right? or perhaps even, that they’re all wrong? Next let us look at your claim saying something along the lines of you not thinking there may be life further advanced than us; is it not entirely possible, with as many planets and stars as there are, that there may be one civilization thats existed for billions of years longer and has developed more advanced technology?
I could go on, but i’ve got better things to waste life on than a post i doubt you’ll even look at, since you’re getting flamed so much.

I suggest next time you wish to bash something because it goes against YOUR god, you think carefuly about where you speak. And it can’t hurt to actualy play the game yourself before making your statements, posting wildly against something which you’ve never looked at yourself is foolish.

LoL, I was planning on writing a comment on how I see forcing and brainwasing a chid into a religion as the worst sin imaginable after murder, and then I see the qoute at the bottom. So this site is a hoax? I had a feeling it might just be fake…

This…is God.
I command that everyone go out and buy the awsomeness that is “Spore”, for the mear price of a video game you can go through the same frustration i faced when making stupid creationist f*cks like you. Thank you and goodnight.

I must say that when I reached the site I tought it was like: Spore is game which sucks, the reviews are bad…

but now I’m like “OMG, Jesus, how can you let this guy live?”
I don’t like Spore that much as a game, but… you’re a moron, you and your ridiculous religion craps. So, STFU with your damn believies, because God doesn’t care about it, you were one of his FAIL creations, and God is atm playing Spore (Spore God Version).
You think we, creation of God are perfect, we aren’t. ESPECIALLY you aren’t perfect.
Being a “good guy” and “going to Heaven” doesnt mean: Pray a lot and forget sex scenes, bla bla bla. It means being good to other people.
OMG YOU ANTI GAMING FUCKERS JUST MAKE ME ANGRY… BURN IN HELL.

I’m so sorry for those people who cannot simply enjoy a game. Pathetic really. I don’t say this very often, but fuck you. Bigtime. You really got me mad. Thinking you know everything better than others, proclaiming the truth is on your side. Well, guess what, it isn’t. It’s somewhere in the middle, as always. Pfff… start enjoying life.

Dude, seriously, it’s a fucking video game. Get over your pompous self, and keep your beliefs to yourself before trying to defame a really neat innovation in technology. What, are you going after SimCity now, or SimAnt where you make ants and try and raise your colony to greatness? Fucktard

You can call us ignorant about the word of God, and we can call you ignorant about the discoveries of science. You are trying to disprove scientific evidence with stories from the bible while we are saying that scientific studies are more accurate than a book written thousands of years ago. It’s like saying that a thousand year old textbook is more accurate than a modern one; it makes no sense. Furthermore, you are trying to force your religious beliefs onto us while we are only trying to defend our right to believe what we want.

To further combat your tyranny, let me take your argument in pieces. You say that Earth was created by God, not science. Where’s the proof? Do NOT say that the bible itself is proof enough, I could take the book Harry Potter and say that that is evidence that Dementors exist, but everyone know they don’t. Using the bible as solid proof is the same as using a fictional novel as proof; it doesn’t prove anything.

Second, you say that God made every creature, no evolution involved. Well, does the bible talk of the dinosaurs? Fossils prove they existed, and if God make all the animals, then where is the talk of dinosaurs? And also, it is my understanding that cats are not mentioned in the bible. Do they not exist? Is my pet feline just a figment of my imagination? That right there proves the bible incorrect.

Third, you say that the Earth is the way it is due to the great flood. But that is not possible. There is no way that any man or group of people could have ever built a wooden ark large enough to support multiples of every single animal that existed at the time. Furthermore, even if such a large ark existed, how could it possibly float with that many creatures onboard? How would it have possibly been able to avoid leaks and breaks that would inevitably lead to its sinking? How could that many animals possibly have been able to live together for such a long amount of time in such an environment. And also, how could the ark have possibly been able to hold enough food and how would all that waste be removed in time to prevent massive outbreaks of disease? It’s just not possible.

Fourth, “Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.” Seriously lady, what the hell is this?

Now I suppose you could just say that all of these impossibilities are there because God willed it and science cannot prove God doesn’t exist. The problem with that is that no one can prove that God does exist. Furthermore, science has given a logical explanation for every single thing that the bible addresses, and the explanations of science make a hell of a lot more sense than the bible’s explanations. In addition, the bible fails to address many things that we know are true, and fails to give explanation for other things as well. Such as: if God gave man the power over the planet and its creatures, then why do we still fall prey to them? Such as deaths from wild carnivores, rabies from common mammals, the ever present malaria from mosquitoes in Africa, the dangerous allergies that make us wary of bees, etc… If God gave us control, then why are we still at the non-human animals’ mercies? And if evolution does not exist, then what of those fossils of pre-historic creatures? They certainly don’t look like our modern non-human animal companions. Where’s the bible’s explanation for that?

One last thing: Stop shoving your convoluted beliefs down our throats you bloody jerk. I have dis-proven each of your bible’s facts with the same science you consider so damn inaccurate that it simply must be incorrect. Do you really think that spreading the word of God will do this world any good? What has God ever done for the impoverished children of Africa and the Middle East? What has God ever done for the poor victims of animal cruelty? What has God ever done for peace? More wars have been started in the name of God than I can care to recall.

We understand your beliefs; it is quite clear to us that your a Christian extremist who’s grown up with these fairy tales. Now can you in turn understand that many of us don’t give a bloody care about your precious bible. The bible gets its trust from blind followers like you who take it too seriously; but we trust science because science has earned that trust through careful studies. Keep your beliefs to yourself if you can’t respect ours.

fuck god.
just because you’re a fanatic or something like that, it means that I must be a fanatic too???
you believe in this shit, and i believe in “my shit”, so lets just believe in what we want to believe, and that’s all. What you think?

And please, stop being pathetic.
Go have sex and get a life, “GODDAMNIT”.

All this is stupid. God doesn’t exist, we weren’t created by him, the universe didn’t suddently appear, it was always there.

Beside, you can’t prove he exist, you just base yourself on a book called the bible some stupid morons wrote in a time that nothing extraordinary happens. Jesus and God are a fairy tale, like the tooth fairy and santa.

Beside, they are as real as Superman or other comic books.

The truth: Your beliefs are bs, God and Jesus are just not real.

Hell God is only a word people a long time ago invented for things they couldn’t explain because they didn’t have science and were a bunch of idiots.

You are like them

Now shut up, God isn’t real. If he was, he would probably be laughing at all those idiots who believe blindly in him for faith.

And when he would see someone god bless america, he would probably wouldn’t bless us if he was real, he would radiate us from the map.

Truth is, he doesn’t exist, now everyone who believe in that need to get a life and open their eyes.

This is the best Rickroll ever. It’s just so epic, everyone bitching, cursing at the site’s maker, yet the site itself is nothing but a satire on those same ideals. I’m Agnostic, and I believe in evolution (how can someone not? Proofs everywhere.) However, 90% of the people that have responded to this thread, which is an obvious joke and satire to the ideals of hair brained Creationists.

Take Xinn above me; he’s obviously reatrded, and cannot read. He typed out all of that stuff, just to try and rip and insult someone making a joke of what he himself is fighting fore.

Kudos, Xinn, you, and the other 89% of the people posting are just like the Creationists extremists! Never reading anything about the argument, and going right to the “you’re wrong, I’m right” douchebaggery!

Wow, I don’t know what to say. It’s to easy to tear this apart. I mean, first you say that these are your beliefs because you were raised that way and that’s fine. No one is forcing Spore on you. However, you are trying to force your beliefs on us. This is the rediculous part. Other people saying what they think is just to much for you because your the only one who’s right? Come on, if the bible(which is a good book, religious or not) shapped you into a self rightious stuck up person who forces there thoughts on people. Then the Bible failed, because, though it’s a great book, it can be twisted in many ways. I can probably find passages to justify rape, incest,murder,robbing, and pretty much any other crime imaginable. However, I can also find one’s that say things about treating others how you want to be treated and respecting one another. But no, you have to go and use all the misunderstoud things in it.

Wait, this means I’m pushing my thoughts on you. Damnit.

How about this: Stop being such a self rightious prick and leave everyone alone, ya?

Oh, and just to make sure everyone knows, Poe’s Law states: “Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won’t mistake for the real thing”

Okay. Just wanted to mention that first of all, Spore isn’t an organized attack on christianity. It’s a computer game. Meant to entertain. Or do you think people are trying to pull off all entertainment media as fact? You might want to have a look at all the other thousands of games gaming industry have produced. Very, very few of them are based on any sort of fact.

Also, first of all, you seem to base your argument around the word of the bible, or as you call it, the word of god. In one case you quote Genesis 1:2, thereafter saying “So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science.”

No, it is not “clear”. The book says so, but there’s nothing that says the book sports facts rather than imagination. Also, who the hell ever claimed science created the Earth? Science is a term invented and created by man. Man did not create earth.

But alright, if you can use that book as a source, I can use any random Winnie the Pooh book as my source. Just because a book says something, doesn’t mean it’s true. And if you would argue that it does, then I’d happily refer you to various scientific texts you can read and “believe” in.

You also frequently say that things are your “belief”, and you ask us to understand those “beliefs”. Let me quote a dictionary for you:

“belief (plural beliefs)

Mental acceptance of a claim as truth.
(countable) Something believed.
The ancient people have a belief in many deities.
(uncountable) The quality or state of believing.
My belief that it will rain tomorrow is strong.
(uncountable) Religious faith.
She often said it was her belief that carried her through the hard times.
(in plural) One’s religious or moral convictions.
I can’t do that. It’s against my beliefs. ”

Belief does not equal fact, or truth. It equals what you *think* is the truth. If something is fact, you need not believe in it. That’s the reason noone goes around saying they believe in chairs, or trees, or mosquitos. Because these things are confirmed to exist, you don’t need to believe in them. Because it’s fact. God, however, is not confirmed to exist, and the words of the bible are not fact. That’s why you believe god exists rather than know he exists. No doubt my posting this will prove rather futile, since it seems a couple of hundred, if not thousand, people already beat me to it. But hey, I had nothing better to do.

I hope this cleared some things up for you, so you can stop with the whole irrational-rage thing. Also, please don’t pray for me. I’d quite frankly feel a bit offended if you did, since I don’t share your beliefs and don’t want you to speak in my name. Should you persist in your claim that you will pray for everyone of us who don’t believe in the bible, I shall have to create a website called antiantispore.com where I combat you via the internet. I may also sue you for harrassment!

Also, to the guy who was complaining about “Patriot Day”: Lots of people die EVERY day, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be able to make jokes and live our lives. Honor their memories, sure. But have NO FUN WHATSOEVER?

Maybe it’s a dishonor to them that you are using the internet on “Patriot Day”. Try disconnecting.

Not to state the obvious, but this game is entirely creation led, your creatures don’t evolve they are altered directly by you (the creator). Their actions are entirly up to you, and there are consequences attached to those actions. But please don’t let something as trivial as the truth get in the way of your depressing little rant.

Ok seriously dude, you need 1. a life & 2. a reality check.
Because last time I checked video games and real life are completely different.
Are you next going to start attacking X-Men because it’s based on evolution?
Spore is a game based on “Let’s pretend you’re ‘God’ and you get to make your own alien race.”
Seriously, you are a dipwad.
Go thump your bible in Africa or something face and get off the internet.

Ok, last thing, this time directed to the admin’s claim of being hacked.

My argument against yours still stands because it is quite obvious you still believe everything written in that post. But I do have one more counterargument left in me, directed to this quote:

“It’s a stupid internet prank that’s about as funny as believing that people ‘descended’ from monkeys (descended implying that apes are actually a higher form of life, if you evolutionists are so smart wouldn’t it be ascended).”

Descended in this context means ‘to have evolved from’. It is not implying that apes are a higher life form, and so what if they are? Humans aren’t the highers form of life just because the bible says we are. I could give you dozens of reasons why we are below many other non-human animals. Open up your mind you stubborn religious extremist. People with your mindset are a poison to this planet.

Jesus (no pun intended) people, are you really this thick? Read the entire thing before you start rioting over his “beliefs”. It’s a joke. A gag. You all got rickrolled. And ranting about theology only shows you couldn’t be bothered to read the whole thing, or are too thick to understand humor in it. Kudos to the people who actually understood this.

So you have your beliefs because that’s what you were “raised in”? That’s not independent belief, that’s good ol’ brain washing. For that reason I feel no need to read any more from this site. I hope one day you can learn to think for yourself and choose your beliefs based the evidence available and / or the virtues of the idea in question.

Thoughts in order I had them:
1. its been well established (ancient Greece) that for a constructive argument to take place, two parties have to depart from an equal starting point. It seems that is impossible on the given topic. So what results is many people shouting in varying tones at one another. Through the internet.

2. The bible is poetic, historical and allegorical. One’s faith describes how one approaches various passages. Genesis can be seen to contradict itself, if taken literally, from one chapter to another. If you reference 2 Peter 3:8, it casts the Lord’s perception of time in a different scale. So I for one have problems taking a very literal interpretation of Genesis 1 and 2.

3. The anonymity of the internet has killed civility. I’m not even looking for pseudo-intellectual streams of vocabulary. Just some decency towards other people. People disassociated with social consequences for their statements show truly depraved natures. That’s a bummer, but not surprising, I guess.

4. Neither Science nor Religion can reach a declarative position on the beginning of time as we know it. Both Religion and Science approach the beginning of our time on faith that their current model is the most correct one. The difference is, Science keeps poking at it. Right now, its somewhat amusing that popular culture takes so much pop-science as fact. Alot of the people supporting evolution are actually laughed at by scientists, because actual studies and theories have shifted. Among other things, the more astronomers and physicists discover about our universe, the less it makes sense. As a result, they’re constantly restating theories, testing, and so on. This gives even their guesses a credibility amongst modern thinkers that the non-rigorous approach any meta-physical system takes lack.

Or: We can’t Identify 97% of the physical universe, but trust us, we’re right! (Not my quote. I got that from my Physicist Ph.D. college roommate.)

5. Still with me? I really like Scatman John’s songs. They’re a bit catchy!

6. The heckler’s veto, the burden of faith, and society. On the internet, people shout and defame and use ad homonym attacks to silence those they disagree with. Referring back to point 1, since this is essentially an emotional argument, I guess that works as well as anything. I just find it amusing that one side yells at the other, “That’s not what I believe, You can’t say that!” You pick which side is which. In regards to those of you that ask Christians “keep your beliefs to yourself,” we can’t, sorry. To do so *is against our beliefs.* Some of us may be more annoying than others, but there’s alot of us, so you get that. I’m not sure how one reconciles telling someone to simultaneously keep their faith to themselves when that very faith demands proselytizing as a point of duty. My guess is they don’t.

Our society is… never mind. Internet.

7. God and Free will. Its a misguided perception that free will is without consequence. God does give us free will, but that decision always has consequences. Biblicaly, God gives us the opportunity to chose to do any number of things, and we do! But to expect that free will is to expect all of humanity to give license to proceed unchecked is ludicrous. Our society, (Okay, i guess I went back there) is -generally- steered by corporate interest, and the will of the masses, in that order. If, in some insane, post apocalyptic moment all of america leveraged their representatives to amend the constitution and make purple clothing mandatory, the desenting minority could chose to break that new law and wear blue, and face whatever insane punishments went with that.

I say that to say this: a person with a set of beliefs, whatever they may be, philosophically should absolutely attempt to legislate from those beliefs. To do anything less would be terribly hypocritical. Basically, put your money where your mouth is. Therefor, we get back to where I was before. People of non-belief, or scientific belief can no more expect a person of faith to not act on that faith, than they can expect others not to act on their own beliefs, how ever more substantial they may seem.

Haha awesome. First time I’ve heard Poe’s Law, but it totally makes sense in this case. Im sure there are some Christians that are actually against this game. Christians crack me up with their TEACH GOD HERE AND THERE…yet they can’t even open their minds to grasp a little bit of reality and logic. Good blog

Nice work. Poe’s Law indeed. I did figure it was a spoof because I doubt the “concerned Christian mother” would have bothered to put Google Ads on the site, but still, hopefully you made some cash with those while the fun lasted.

Also, everyone in this thread still thinking this is serious is retarded, and needs to learn how to read. Especially Xinn, who wrote a huge post that actually quotes the line that says the whole thing was a joke, and still doesn’t get it.

I believe that God did things in His way and His time, and that they’re beyond my ability to understand. I’ve seen proofs offered and discovered by other people who’ve invested huge amounts of time into study that I see no reason to question, and I occasionally see those things disproven, or verrifyed.

Basically: I dunno. The picture I get is at best fuzzy. Guided evolution with occasional bouts of inexplicable newness in the records.

Piece of shit, u dont have nothing better to do? i have a spoil 4 u GOD DOESN’T EXIST MOTHER FUCKER. U make fell sick, scum of society, u and ur stipids dogmas an values, do me a favor GO TO FUCK YOURSELF PLEASE. now with de LHC working all the god mith its going to vanish. enjoy

I tip my hat to thee good sir. I had my suspicions but I tended to lean more towards this being real than fake, but in the end it seemed just like you’d expect a real fundamentalist to act so I thought it was real. Good show.

Not the guy running this site (thank jebus)on 11 Sep 2008 at 3:43 pm 549

Wow you morons, read the post ALL THE WAY THROUGH, it was a HOAX (pay attention, I’m bolding the font for your benefit). When I realized this had to be a hoax a few nights ago (your video of the girl gave it away), I became incredibly jealous. I wish I had thought of this instead of sitting on my ass playing Spore. Props, seriously, props, I love this shit.

It really amazes me that you bother cutting up games that are based on other people’s beliefs, because you’re arrogant enough to “know” that your beliefs are the correct ones. I’m sure you’ve “spoken with God”, and been “shown the light”, and that’s all the proof you need to think that you can “protect” others from evil things like Evolution. Well, I have news for you… Evolution happens, whether you believe God has anything to do with it or not is besides the point. Insects can change colours, and breed that way, to match their environment. Ever heard of the Monkey trial? If the Sun wasn’t created before the animals were, how does one know how long it took for those forms to reach their current state? Yeah. I know. Ignorance is bliss.

You can have all the beliefs you want, but as soon as you dedicate an entire site to encourage others to jump on your bandwagon of ignorance, I have to say something.

You realize the texts that you are quoting from your scriptures, while obviously not accurate seeing that you jokingly turned a 911 song into scriptures from Genesis 8 (which I find a bit shocking considering how devout you seem to be), were written and re-written over thousands of years by men. Men who were in powerful religious positions who’s primary goal was to control an ignorant population.

In modern times, information is readily available. (Granted, the entire world is not privy to the internet, but obviously, everyone here has that type of access.) Keeping people in the dark and telling them that there is some omnipotent being watching and judging us is just plain silly. Religion was, and still is, used as a form of control to keep the population under control. It’s like telling your children to behave all year long or Santa Claus won’t bring them presents.

I was raised in a Catholic family and I know all about “God”, what “God” stands for and why people believe in and worship “God”. But I’m sorry, “God” is just something that makes people feel a little better about themselves and a little less lonely at the end of their day. I don’t need “God” to feel good about myself or live a good life and treat the people I care about with love and respect.

Now, in all honesty, I don’t have a problem with religion. I truly don’t. I respect all religions. Even Scientololgy, which I view as one of least tempting religions, I have respect for them as a religious sect regardless of the fact that they believe the universe was farted out of Zenu’s rectum. Are you so blind that you think your religion is the one true faith? There are hundreds of different belief systems, and most of them are pretty similar in faith and lifestyle and some of them are pretty backwards compared to what Christians believe in.

What would you do if you ended up at the “Pearly Gates” and were greeted by a Buddah? Or what if the ancient Greek mythology were the true religion and there were many gods ruling over different domains?

With so many questions that have not been answered and cannot be answered, how can you say that your faith is the one and only true faith to follow?

You can’t.

All you can say is “This is what I believe.”
You cannot say “This is what I know.” because you don’t “know”.
Nobody “knows” what the “one true faith” is.
That’s why I don’t choose a faith or choose to believe in a “God”.
I believe in humanity, even though it’s not always good, it’s real and shown to me daily.

Heck, I would worship the Sun before I worshiped an invisible God. At least I know for a fact that the Sun exists and life on earth would not exist without the Sun. How much more powerful of a force could you ask for?

I mentioned that I do respect all religions, but I cannot have respect for the persons within those religions who are so pious that they are blinded by their own faith that they try to force it on the rest of us. Now, granted, I chose to visit this site out of my own free will because the controversy surrounding Spore fascinates me and since I’m a game developer, I find it grossly ignorant of you to rally against a game that has gone outside the box of what I consider standard game design and created a ground breaking title that is acclaimed by the industry.

Please re-think what you are doing here. In my opinion, you are not any better than how you view the games creator, Will Wright. Granted, Spore has a large advertising campaign which is reaching more people than your little blog here ever will, but with your stance on religion and what you think the game Spore is doing to our children (or whoever) you are attempting to do the same thing from the other side. And it’s only your opinion that the ideas Spore plants in peoples heads are “bad” or “wrong”. In fact, everything that occurs in Spore is as fictional as the Bible. It’s just based on whatever information they could use to create a game that lightly follows the rules of evolution. It’s not a concrete educational tool that someone could use then walk away with a comprehensive knowledge of the Theory of Evolution. It’s a game. And like all other games, it will never fully translate what occurs in the real world.

Nice to see that there are so many mature people here that discuss this in a proper manner… behave. Nobody listens to you if you curse people around.
This is HIS blog at HIS site (as i understand it) and a guy/gal should be able to express their beliefs without having 16 year old people ganking him.

Anyways… The proof that god has created earth is from a book that has been passed down for ages? Nice… The Bible was a way for people at that time to get sense of it all. That basically goes for most religions really. Hard times and lack of technology, amongst other things, made religion.
Now we have a sensible theory, Darwin, and we have the science to help us prove it. How can you trust a 4000 old story as fact? Hope nobody finds Lord of the Rings in 5000 years time and believe that Sauron actually exsisted.

YOU ALL GOT RICKROLL’D U STUPID CUNTS! I LAUGHED SO HARD WHEN I SAW THE RICK ROLL BUT I GOT A BIGGER LAUGH TO SEE YOU STILL PUTTING THIS GUY DOWN BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T READ THE WHOLE POST. EVOLUTION MUST BE TRUE BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE CLEARLY HAVEN’T EVOLVED TO EVEN UNDERSTAND POE’S LAW.

This is awesome. So many people prepared to read you the riot act without reading the whole of your post(s)! great parody.
Interesting though, that people calling you “stupid,” “intolerant,” etc., judge your “belief” without trying to understand them (read: read the whole post). Who are the intolerant, ignorant, idiots now?
Real Christianity applauds you, sir.

It’s a game, and Will Wright has clearly stated that he didn’t want to come down on either side of the creationism/evolution debate though he pointed out that the player assumes the role of what is basically an intelligent designer. The game is not meant to be taken as the literal truth of the cosmos, it is intended as a toy to play with.

Even if you can’t stand with a majority of other intellectually honest Christians and abandon 7 day creationism for the much better clockmaker theory, there is still no need to bash Spore because it’s fictional setting doesn’t mesh with your dumb world view. Wright even pointed out in an interview that, before Spore was released, has had expected both side of the debate to go nuts. Instead, he said, he had only gotten complaints from atheists up to that point. Whoops! Looks like you’re on the devil’s side of this argument!

Ah ha ha! I’ve been visiting this for days–infuriated at someone’s ignorance, but drawn to it like a train wreck. Suddenly, today, I see this. My hat is off to you, my friend. I love the Rickroll, but this is a new high for the sport.

I was about to take my hat off to you and congratulate you on the RickRoll but alas its not true.

Ok lets see………

1. The Bible is a social document: its about how to live your life, not the be all and end all of scientific discovery, there are some bits that cannot be taken literally (snakes eat mice and small animals, not “dirt” as they are banished to in genesis, you can go to the zoo and watch them do this)
2. Translation issues: The old testament started off as a spoken document held by the tribes of Israel, now this on its own causes problems, a simple game of Chinese whispers with your children will show this issue in a nutshell, even the Buddhists (who formulated chanting as a memory technique) weren’t able to truly deal with this. From spoken world it was written down into Hebrew then Aramaic then Latin then old English then retranslated under the order of King James (to make it pleasing to his form of Christianity and political climate) then reconstituted into the good news bible. On top of the human error issues with all these changes the meaning of words change, The ancient Hebrews would not have needed to differentiate between “create” and “develop” meaning that an act of god snapping his fingers would have translated the same as him running evolution.
3. How long is a “day”? Now this is an issue brought up partially by translation (i think the original might translate literally as a time period) but also by the fact that days rely on there being a sun which there was not a the start of genesis
4. lack of empirical evidence: creationism doesn’t hold water as all the “proof” can easily be counteracted by other theories (and i clarify the different between a hypothesis and a theory here, a theory has been proven where as a hypothesis is speculation waiting to be proven ).
5. Example of evolution in nature: the flu virus every year mutates to counteract the vaccines that are developed to counteract it, MRSA is an evolutionary jump for survival as is every drug resistant illness that currently plagues our hospitals, the same thing happens with insects and insectersides, mixamatosis in rabbits and a hundred other examples
6. Radio carbon and geological dating: If genesis is completely true then so is the rest of the old testament, much as it has been calculated from the old testament that the world is only a few thousand years old geological dating has shown this to be completely untrue, oh and while where at it, light from the most distant stars would take longer than this apparent age of the universe to reach us, again more evidence that the bible cannot be used in a scientific context.
7. the tail bone and the appendix: if we sprang whole from the mind of god how come we have things that just dont do anything?
8. Dinosaurs: the T-Rex would have any animal now living on the planet for breakfast, saying that these animals lived at the same time as everything else may make an awesome t-shirt (jesus on a velosoraphtor is just the best image ever) but doesn’t hold up on even a passing analysis

so that’s my critique of your beliefs, I know lots of other people said most of what I said but I just wanted to get it out in a relatively non combative way.

btw, I’m also NOT denying the existence of a god (as I’m not going to disprove a theory that can be relatively neatly fitted around science just because I don’t like it)

I remain sceptical in both directions, whereas I know people actualyl hold these beliefs the “hacking” argument is equally plausable.
I still put up my comments because even if its not real its a nice thought exercise considering there is a relativly large chance the US will have a creationist as a VP come november

Spore made me a god along with God, so yeah. Jesus is a pretty cool guy, actually, despite all the hate on him on earth. The Holy Ghost also makes some rather delicious cherry strudel. This place is the shit.

Anyways, back to creating a bunch of massive dicks to roam the galaxy. I already predestined them to get killed off by a bunch of vaginas, so…

I respect your right to say what you think and to be able to believe what you do, but why are you forcing it on everyone else? Lets get one thing strait.

A lot of people like this game. MOST of the world believes in evolution. Your quotations of the bible as proof that God created the earth and creatures are the most low levels of deduction possible. The bible says it there for it is true? If that is the case then there is a school for magicians with an exceptional student named Harry and this place exists because it is also in a book. Please understand that while you are free to believe what ever you choose to that forcing those beliefs on the rest of the world is wrong. Imagine if I tried to do the same to you, would you not be angry?

You are in the minority on this issue. You actions here do not help anyone, make the world a better place, or even enrich your religion. This cause as you have presented it has no factual evidence, just baseless claims, and is the equivalent to some 1337 flame thread on any other internet forum. Simply, you are a troll.

I respect your right to your beliefs and I would work to see your right to believe in what you do protected. Why won’t you in turn let me believe what I want to? If you are in my eyes free to worship God then you must understand that I am free to believe God does not exist. I am not debating religion and I am not saying you are wrong. I am simply saying that as an intelligent person you owe it to the rest of the world to at least make their own decisions. If someone asks your opinion or approaches you actively for guidance, that is one thing, but to actively force your beliefs on others is wrong.

Please stop telling me what you think is good for me. I assure you what you think I need to be protected from I do not. In complete honesty I would rather be protected from you.

HAHAHA, I love the large amount of wank you’re getting in this post from the idiot masses who don’t finish reading and can’t take a joke. Some of them even DID see the Rickroll and still go on to argue all your points that were just made invalid by the Rickroll. GENIUS.

Xinn… I think it’s hilarious that you just took the time to write a response that was several volumes long but couldn’t be bothered to read to the end of the post to find that you’ve been rickrolled. So yeah. You just look like a moron now.

This was the best social experiment/rick rolling I’ve ever witnessed. Brilliant!

And it is written in the greates books of them all:
“In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

Just because someone wrote somewhen somehow something down, doesn’t mean that that person was right.

See, I could write a book that says:
Well first of all, there was nothing. I mean the void itself. But then, then, oh boy, then there was everything. It was bright and gloomy and all that stuff. And I created it all. I don’t have to explain it to you, cause I created you too. So don’t ask stupid questions and serve me.

This has not to be true (but it could be)!

So lady, please, watch and think for yourself.
Open up your eyes and have a look at the variety of everything.
Read some books (Darwin or Nietzsche are very good).
And please, don’t ever start with “Intelligent Design”… never … I’m serious … Or I gotta throw all my creations into the bin and start right away. And I bet you won’t like existing in my bin.

Seriously! Are you stupid? I don’t belive so strongly that there is no God that anything you say would change that, a human being would never be able to convince me that there’s a God. What I don’t understand is why you use the damn Bible to try to convince. Like “Oh but it says here that…”, yeah so what? The Bible was written by man a long time ago, when people knew nothing about anything. They belived that there was a God behind everything because that was the only thing they could belive in. Now science has proved countless of things in the Bible to be wrong and there has never been a sign of a God anywhere.

The Bible was written by man, man created God, not the other way around. Most of the things that’s written in the Bible are false or extremly exaggerated.

NO ONE AGREES WITH YOU. TAKE A HINT.
YOU CAN CONTROL WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR OWN HOUSEHOLD AND IT ENDS THERE.
I FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR SON MISSING OUT ON A GREAT GAME.

…And, for the record, trying to imply Will Right is pushing his beliefs on America’s youth is complete and utter hypocritical bullsh*t. You guys are the dickholes that insist everyone follow your religion or burn for eternity. PEOPLE CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT. THIS IS AMERICA ISN’T IT.
That creationism is still being taught in schools continues to astound me… and the reason evolution is taught is because it’s a SCIENCE; we’re not trying to refute your little theory, we’re trying to unveil the truth. Insisting that creationism still be taught is childish at best.

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. 9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Together forever and never to part. 10 Together forever we two. 11 And don’t you know I would move Heaven and Earth. 12 To be together forever with you.” 13 And lo, the disciples did partake of the goodness of Astley, and were well pleased.

Beautiful…just beautiful…and for all those still responding to this in a serious fashion…WAKE UP. If you’d actually practiced what you all preached, and WERE open-minded enough to listen to someone elses thoughts/ideas before bashing them, you’d have EXPLORED the site and would have figured it out nearly immediately…again, nicely done

Hey! I think U r just a fake that wants to be pop on internet, so why wont u write with a nickname, show urself…
First of all, if u have a child U r a creator… u create a creature we call human.
Now, a game is a game created by man ( like the bible ), but… look, u know that a game is a fantasy? Like those disney films ur child see on TV… Game is like a interactive book where the player can make the words do what he wants.
If u want people to play attention to u just run in a street without ur clothes… it uses to take more attention than writing a blog like this. If u wanna know there r 7billions people over the world, but not even 1% know what is Spore or what is a game.

Wow, I’m Christian and I find nothing wrong with this game. This is nothing but propaganda you’re spewing out. And for the record, the Bible does not teach Creationism. It’s what some extremists came up with and claimed to be the work of God.

Besides, by your argument, Spore should be about Creationism, which not only defeats the game’s purpose, but also would result in offending Evolutionists(Or at least un-accepting ones). So it would be an endless cycle of ignorance. If you want people to accept your choices, than except the choice people made to create the game in that way.

ALSO, the gaming studio that made Spore is famous for making non-violent games. Spore has a religous, economic, war, and social way to spread across the galaxies(though Economic and Religious aren’t available for awhile). So why did I even take the time to post if you only saw one part of the game and assumed from there?

ALSO ALSO, don’t swear at this person, it’s ironic if you can’t accept their opinion.

lmao EPIC nicely done
The only real tell I could see was that you were posting at too fast a rate for it to be genuine, but all-in-all was so seemingly well though-out it looked real. Well played, sir/madam, for the posters are obviously too reactionary and idiotic to see they’ve been trolled at this point. You could probably just keep rolling with this one.

“I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in.”

Well there you go…Maybe you shouldn’t believe everything you were told as a child. I mean, think about it, you could have been a scientologist kiddie and be a loony right now. Maybe its time to really look at yourself and go, do I like being a sheep? Do I like just believing whatever I’m told? Just because you were raised to think Santa Claus is real doesn’t mean you believe it now right? Or do you?

Just, wow. As someone involved with Internet marketing, I can say that this was the best thought, most incredibly executed Rick Roll I have ever seen. I have no idea how you held out so long. I would have been way too anxious to let it out.

I’m sure if you are conscious enough you could find yourself to have a look, unless of course you just don’t want to. Then again, blog shite like this on the internet and you should be willing to read all pages of the book.

Here comes the jesus squad, But guys get a fucking education!
Jesus probably was a nice guy but he and his belief’s died a long time ago. And just if he was amongst us i think he would be against narrowmindedness

If I wrote a book saying I never lie, and in a later chapter said I the Prime Minsiter of Norway, and it had to be true because it says I never lie and I allegedly I wrote the book, would you belive me?

The best satire is the kind that doesn’t wave a big obnoxious flag reading “THIS IS SATIRE YOU NUMBNUTS”… and even though scores of people have “outted” the humor in the comments already, you’ll continue to get many more comments of people who don’t get it. Even though we’re all making fun of them right to their faces. They’re just in such a big hurry to rant and rave they don’t take one single second to read 3 comments in.

Eventually you’ll probably need to change the post title to “This is a RICK ROLL”… and even then… people still won’t get it.

The brainwashed, closed minded, bigoted, hypocritical, atheist dumbasses here need to shut the hell up. So salty you can’t decide upon a faith so you become an atheist coward determined that there is nothing? Pathetic. BTW Nick if you believe those shitty videos you are mentally retarded.

Dumbasses like most of you idiots destroy any hope I had in humanity. I guess I will have to trust that most smart people are avoiding this hellhole.

Sry but christ is lame , Why cant you guys ever shut up?
Do we , non believers , spit in your face when you make a movie about god / jesus / or the holy spitit bla bla , No we dont , we try to respect your believes , but I got to tell you , Its getting damn hard. Suck it up and stop being such a douch

I understand your beliefs. I do. Your religious. You believe in God and the Bible.

Nothing wrong with that, after all, the First Amendment says you have a “Freedom of Religion”. However, I have a HUGE problem with your religion thinking everything they say is 100% THE TRUTH and everyone else IS WRONG.

You people go spreading propaganda claiming “The media is secular and unholy!” “It’s brainwashing kids!!!”. You don’t like it, go talk to your Church about it, because a large portion of the people reading this blog don’t give a damn about this BS.

Last time I checked, this isn’t the Midevil Age, the Church does NOT have control over everyone’s lives, and America is NOT a Communist country. So therefor, GTFO our Internets with your propaganda.

There is nothing wrong about believing in God but seriously, you are imprinting your beliefs on something that wasn’t meant to hold any to begin with. This is a game, meant for entertainment based on the creative capacity of the player. CREATIVE, FICTION. The game, or the games creator, isn’t saying that this is how the true events in history happened or anything close.

You are fighting a work of FICTION, a story, a creative tool for people to enjoy designing FICTIONAL creatures and watch them act in a FICTIONAL world. It’s like your fighting a fictional book.

Guess who else told fictional stories, JESUS. Jesus told a number of PARABLES, which ARE FICTION, in a parable case it is meant to share a certain ethical message. The point of this paragraph is to say a FICTIONAL story is not LYING or trying to tell you the truth. SPORE is a FICTION but not a PARABLE

So this was really just a hoax after all. And I thought that this website could be turned into a medium of healthy debate over the validity of the genesis version of the creation story. But since even the author of the site doesn’t beleive what he/she is saying (as made evident by the Rcik Astley references), and the fact that the debate is almost entirely one sided this can not be the case.

You seem ignorant to the fact that not everyone believes in god or that god created earth according to the words of the bible. Spore does no more to disrupt your beliefs than these comments do. If you’re confident in your faith, then a simple game makes no difference. Stop railing against OUR beliefs. Did you ever think of that?

Furthermore, not believing in god does not make non-believers worse than you. Your arrogance indicates that you seem to think one is better than the other.

*laughs* My co-workers didn’t believe the site was a joke when I first showed it to them. One was still annoyed after this post since he (as so many of these posters) didn’t read it until completion. Thank you for the days of entertainment (and the fact that people STILL aren’t getting it.)

Each and every person who disagrees with this guy should just never talk again until they retake elementary school and learn how to read. This whole site was obviously a joke. He RICK ROLLED YOU. He admitted it was a joke. If you don’t know what it means, google it. If you don’t know what google is, it’s a search engine dumbnuts. Now, why don’t you children go outside, get some sunshine, as if you get any, take a breathe, count to ten, read over the article again, and after you fully comprehend the joke, break your modem. You do not belong on the internet.

I suppose you shit your pants when you think of communists. I mean the thought of science being told in school… How DARE they???? And just in case you are so stupid not to understand I am being sarcastic you bible bashing nut case.
Let me tell you something, the soviet army is coming to get you…
They bringing science books, logic and explosives to blow up churches.
P.S. GOD DOESN’T EXIST

Its unfortunate that you’ve gotten so many insult and/or juvenile posts on your blog. I certainly hope you take the time to clean out the more egregious posts, especially those containing foul language.

That said, while I am an evangelical Christian, and I take my beliefs very seriously, I fundamentally disagree with your perspective on this game. I hope you’ll read and consider an alternative take on both Mr Wright’s game as well as the old battle between creationism and evolution.

First, I think you unfairly pit ‘science’ against ‘faith,’ as though the two cannot coexist. In fact, many of the earliest men of science were also men of faith. Galileo has been famously cited as having said “I refuse to believe that the same God who gave us reason and intellect intended us to forego their use.” Gregor Mendel, who is widely considered to be the father of genetics, was a monk. While it is true that many view science as an alternative to faith, there are also many (like myself) who believe that science complements faith; I believe God created a world that follows certain rules (i.e., gravity won’t suddenly ‘switch off,’ everything is made of molecules which in turn are made of atoms, etc), and science is the study and observation of those rules.

Second, it is a fact–not a theory–that some lifeforms change over time. Virii and Bacteria ‘mutate’ on a regular basis, causing them to be immune to antibodies that would kill their prior forms. Granted, a small change in a virus is a far cry from the claim that a fish can evolve legs over time and walk out of the ocean, but the fact is, your assertion that “God [created] all the creatures [without] creatures ‘evolving’ into other creatures” simply can’t be factual. Whether this causes you a crisis of faith or not is of course your own prerogative.

Third, I think you can believe both that the earth is older than 6000 years and in the Bible. While it is true that the Bible describes creation as taking 6 days (plus one day off), it was not until day 4 that the sun was created. A day is generally defined as a full rotation of the earth as measured by the relative position of the sun. That means that you are making a very specific temporal argument based on a vague passage of scripture about how long something took before measurable time existed! You are, of course, free to believe whatever you will, but I certainly wouldn’t base my faith on something so tenuous.

Finally, the game Spore really makes a better case for intelligent design (the popular Christian response to evolution) than it does for evolution. Consider: according to the theory of evolution, the earth existed for a gazillion years (whatever ), creatures mutated randomly, and these mutations were either positive, resulting in that form of the critter out living his siblings, or negative, resulting in that form of life getting eaten by the nearest predator. But that isn’t what happens in Spore. In Spore, an intelligent being (the player) creates a creature. That creature is not the result of an accidental mutation. Rather, that creature has been created by a being who cares about its well being, and he or she designs that creature to best be able to survive its environment. How is that not creationism?

Amazing work. You just Hoodwinked kost of the religiously opposed people on the internet. Hats off to you, kudos and all that jazz. For a moment, i thought you were really a creationist fool, then, oh my. You, sir, are a genius.

I stopped reading the moment you said “I don’t choose to have these beliefs” that phrase is complete and utter B.S. raised with them or not, if you didn’t believe it was true, it wouldn’t be YOUR belief, it would be A belief that you do not agree with.

Well.. I could write a whole text explaining why you are wrong, but I don’t think that I’ll do it.

Spore is just a game.
You looks like an crhitiam version of a fanatic muslim that condemns all that ins’t recorded in their holy book.

I’m a christan too, but I believe in the Darwin’s theory. And It makes God’s work even beautier, cause It shows that God is the intelligence behind the nature’s way. God is our universe, our world, our nature everything. So when the Bible says that he made us just like him, It said that he made us from the nature, the spiritual nature that’s in everything.

Great site. Well-played. Too bad that what it really does is show that all the ‘educated atheists’ who are so anti-creationist are also frequently idiots. Science, I would remind all those who oppose this satire without realizing it’s satire, involves reading the entire page. For those of faith who came to flame this overzealous ‘fundamentalist,’ know that there are many, many people who truly think this way, and take action over more serious subjects, such as the dictating of people’s lives.

“I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in.”

that is what someone could call indoctrination, no?
thats why no one (yes especially parents) should be allowed to “teach” kids about their own beliefs before they are able to make an informed decision about what they are being “taught”. Kids simply will – up to a certain age – take their parents / authoritative figures “teachings” for the truth, no matter how ridiculous (“mommy, where do babies come from?” – “storks, shut up”) these “explanations” are.
the more elaborate the explanation, the longer one needs to dig through them to get to the base of them. you obviously never got to the point of doubting anything about what you where taught or – sad thought – are simply not intelligent enough to do so, even at an age where you are allowed to raise children of your own (which i honestly belief you have proven you should not be allowed to because you have a bad inflence on your child). Dawkins called this a “different form of child abuse” and after reading your blog i start to belief. THAT is what you did for yourself by putting yourself out here.

and your pathetic begging along the lines of “please let me be an ignorant, judgmental, hateful (the gay thing, remember?), self rigthous person and ignore the fact that I put my beliefs on the internet and in essence insult everyone who does not agree with me and dont tell me im wrong because i know im not because i was taught all my life that im not by people who share the same exact beliefs” is simply that – pathetic. (circular reasoning, again)
do you really expect anyone to go more easy on you just because you plain out tell everyone that you base your LIFE on a two thousand year old book of contradictory analogies and take it for literal truth?

by your reasoning, your believe in chrisitanity is true because your family told you that it is true because it is written in a book that says it is true. so how exactly does this make your belief more “true” than that of a raised muslim? i mean other than your belief in the book that says you are right?
i could grab any fantasy novel that claims somewhere in the text that it is a true story, teach it to my kids as the truth and their belief would have have the same same validity as yours – none whatsoever. because proving the bible to be factual is something no one ever managed to do, other than to all ready believing christians.

CIRCULAR REASONING IS NOT HELPING ANY SO-CALLED FACT-BASED ARGUMENT!

“It’s these teachings that I’ve spent my life learning, believing and becoming, that have made me the woman that I am today.”
thats just negative advertisement for christianity.
because when i look at the comments here and the perception of your blog on the internet, the consensus is that you are an ignorant person of seemingly low iq and the tendency to whine when someone questions you in stead of thinking abut the questions raised.
If THAT is what christianity made you (you just said so) than you just pissed off the pope and any other christian leader – yay, go moronwoman!

must say opinions are like assholes, everyone has on, and when it comes to “god” well same concept. I dont belive in god, i couldnt give a rats ass honestly, people like you are no better then the terrorists that attack countries for not being Muslim. I fucking hate extremists, so its a game about evolution, get the fuck over it, get a life, go pray, instead of wasting 10 minutes of my life reading why video games are “bad”.

Sorry if it seems im spitting bullets here, but that shit pisses me off to no end. Let people belive in what they want instead of trying to brainwash everyone.

You guys are all so unbelievably stupid it is quite hilarious. I applaud the author of this website for being the comedy god that he is. The people that are combating him are obviously not aware of this contraption called the “internet” and the fact that in this vast, vast “internet” there is a wildly acclaimed joke called the “rickroll” In case you would like to be informed further please visit this link and please stop commenting. Thank you.http://rickroll.net/about/ also if you didn’t understand that one to further the pointhttp://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-rickroll.htm

I realize this site is a hoax, but I just wanted to clear one thing up, because some of the previous posters seemed confused on a point;

Hominids (humans) did not descend from monkeys or apes or anything alive today. We share a common ancestor with apes and monkeys. It’s a pet peeve of mine when someone denounces evolution because “how could we have evolved from monkeys??”

okay, i believe that everyone believes in so many different things as a sense of comfort – not so much that there is something there… but when there is crisis or something it will be passed off, in religious worlds, as a test. Myself, I’m atheist – and have an interest in science.

I’m young, and haven’t really researched too much into religion – but i’m sorry, from anything that i’ve seen it’s just … well there’s so many things i could say but i don’t want to cause offence into others believes. the way is see it is that it’s a fraud (for example: why would a church (say in america) ask for offers … being money… when if you believe in something why would you need to fund something? you don’t fund the easter bunny or the toothfairy do you? it’s just something you believe (or don’t)).

Also, in reply to this whole [pointless] website…. the evolution theory has pretty much been proven, with all different research has gone on, oh and i guess this Large Hadrons Collider probably doesn’t help ;-).

Spore is a fantastic game, i bet you haven’t even played it as it’s so “outrageously against religion” and thus you haven’t actually experienced the creativity and fun that this game actually has… hours of gameplay – it’s a absolutely amazing concept of a game that no one has really done – How comes there wasn’t a “Anti Grand Theft Auto” when that’s killing woman, police, innocents, stealing, promoting all evil things… hmm.

chances of you reading this are so slim, considering there are over 700 replies to this monstrostity that is. but hey, that’s that…

something else, i just re-read the post

animals, okay they were “created by god” then tell me, what are all these bone formations you find in museums, you know – dinosaurs lol

1) It’s a game.
2) Your lead argument is based off of a book, a clear work of fiction mind you(this is inarguable, factual content aside, it was told orally for centuries before being printed, so there is a guaranteed amount of fiction.

pss if the children ask where the epicness went, tell them it went on a long and epically epic vacation of epicness. you, sir/madam/jesus-in-disguise-trying-to-see-how-mortals-react-to-this-sort-of-thing, are a win. ;D

really, i dont see how this is going against anything since its a game. but whatever dude, believe in something that doesnt exist. your book said the world was going to end soon, guess what dude, its been 2000 years since that book has been made so where is this so called end. I for sure as hell dont see one

Wow, GOD IS A MYTH, evolution is fact, and just because you are stupid and think that there is a god, you believe in god because it makes you feel safe and secure the truth is the world sucks. Ive played Spore and you just are mad at a game thats telling the truth, I should make a game called EVOLUTION THE TRUTH and you can be stupid about that.

Extremely funny, I wonder how many (millions) were outraged without actually taking the trouble to read even a few lines of text?

“21. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never gonna give you up.
22. “Never gonna let you down.”
23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.”
24. “Never gonna make you cry.”
25. “Never gonna say goodbye.”
26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.”
27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”

GOD IS NOT REAL, Nothing can be all-powerful and good, If there was a god he wouldnt let people get raped, murdered or get sick, hes a myth. I feel sorry for the people who waste there life worshiping a fictional thing, trying to get into heaven which also does not exists, when you die you go into a never-ending sleep its that simple, no bright light, just black and if your lucky a dream.

I think actually that shes right. Stop Spore! Stop Will Wright!
For God sakes let us burn these heretics and call upon the inquisition… this is truly christian! like our ancestors in the dark age!
You say that we shall unterstand YOUR believe, but youre not understands and respects OUR believes, this is really ignorant isnt it?
I dont understand why every christian is crying about religious tolerance, but on the other side they show NO tolerance to other believes! Sorry but Christian are the real devils on Earth!

that is wonderful for you, but truth be told, what has that to do with spore? or me? or anyone else?

You bring into your home, that which you desire for you and yours.

The world should not be here to conform to your beliefs. YOU believe in the bible..and that is fine.. I do not.. nor have I a wish to, in the time of the world and faiths/religions.. christianity though.. 2000 yrs old.. is really not the oldest religion.. in the lifespan of man it is reaching middle age in religion..

I am not even sure if christianity has the greatest number of people.. I do not think so.

And Christianity has many offshoots as well, no one takes the bible in the exact same way.

I say, you do not like spore? fine, it is a game, do not buy it and teach your children to avoid it. *I* do not mind it, I have the right to see it, purchase it.. use it for myself and my children.. none of your business.

Thats how it should be, and I hope remains to be. Your faith is yours, keep it out of my home..

TO ALL YOU DOUCHE BAGS, TRY ACTUALLY READING THIS ITS ALL A JOKE AND YOUR ALL COMPLETE DIPSHITS WITH YOUR SERIOUS BULLSHIT POSTS, YOU SHOULD ALL DIE, AND ARE ALL STUPID AND DUMB, AND RETARDED, AND NOT COOL, AND LAME, AND PEDOPHILES.

You are all fuckin idiots. Read the bottom of his shit. Realize that you have been had and deal with it. Also, get over yourselves. There is no god. Good job Admin for stirring the fucktard bible thumpers up. Funny stuff.

Is everybody seriously this stupid this was a joke, a rick roll, read the whole thing dumb asses she wasn’t serious about the whole anti-Spore thing. I thank the admin whomever the hell it is for making my day after reading this.

This site is almost worth it’s own research paper. Honestly the reactions it drew and the sheer blinding ignorance of the responses are awesome. I mean there are enough essays in the comments section of this post alone to make an entire book of bullshit out of. If anyone ever needed affirmation as to the general stupidity of the internet, this is the place to come. Rickrolling at it’s finest.

I’ve got to admit, the sheer amount of effort you put into this is hilarious, which makes it all the more funny that it’s an elaborate hoax. Good job for tricking us all, but at the same time, I’d advise you get out more…

I cannot BELIEVE the number of retards still posting serious replies. But I do maintain that there are people of this ilk somewhere out there, especially since Spore has been well-covered in the mainstream media. Even my mom knows about Spore.

You brought up the story of Noah, which I would like to point out was because GOD MADE A MISTAKE when creating mankind. You have previously claimed that god made us perfect the first time without making millions of mistakes. Please realize the hypocritical stance you and your kind are taking.

Hello. First of all, I hope that you read this. Second of all, I hope you also understand that I am Christian, though not in the typical sense of the word. I’ll try to keep this brief, but fair – but your post sparked something that gave me the desire to write. I tried to find your email or pm address, but nothing – so I once again, I hope you read this.

Like I said. I’m Christian. I believe in ‘God’. I believe in ‘Jesus’. But not as the bible depicts them. To me, God is what was here first. Before us, before earth, before the universe. God may be some kind of being, an energy, or perhaps a giant amoeba floating through space. I don’t know. ‘God’ is beyond my understanding. Jesus, was a man to me. A man who looked at the world around him and though, you know what? This place really is shit. Let’s try something – let’s try to make people be nice to each other. Whether he was immaculately conceived or not – this kind of person deserves to be believed in.

However, the bible as you quote was not written by God. No. The Bible was written by man. Man that had belief in God. Unfortunately, much like any politician today, even if these men try to be ‘Good’, they will always bend the truth to aid their cause. Much as the men and women that contributed to the many stories in the bible. This is another thing you must also remember, the bible is a series of stories. It is not a book of fact. Much like Chinese whispers, these stories would have changed a thousand times before they were ever written down.

I do not wish for you to question your faith. I admire you for your faith, but please understand my view.

That being said, I believe your… attack? rebellion? Against spore and the idea of evolution over creationism is unfounded, uncalled for and unfortunately is making you a laughing stock. The problem is you quote the Bible as evidence, the beleifs as fact and the untruths as truths – again, the Bible was not written by God, but by man. Man is faulty by nature. Remember this and it’ll serve you well.

What you do need to realise is that, excluding the documented evidence that proves evolution (please note that Evolutionists have way more evidence than creationists), is that this is just GAME. An entertainment medium. Why launch an attack on a game (though it deserves attacking for it’s terrible DRM and lack of game play) when your attack should be on the scientists? Really, it’s to grab attention I guess.

What I’m saying is, the world needs faith. Your faith and belief’s are something I should be jealous of. However, being what I guess you’d call a neo-christian, I believe the world would be better of if we all had a little faith in God as the answer to why, and the evolution as the answer to how. I do not believe God looks as we do. I do not believe God created man in his own image. I do believe that God may not even be a concious being, but a source from which everything came.

What I’m saying is you’d be better off if you realised the difference between fact and fiction, and came to a happy medium. Rather than launching an offence on a computer game.

Maybe I’m being unfair, if you’d get back to me I’d be more than interested to read it. Anyways, good luck with your crusade.

I hope you understand I’m not trying to slander you, just wanted my say.

My hats off to you sir. You had so many people fooled, this will go down in history. Amazing pull off of Poe’s Law, and a rick roll!
This man should get an award, or a mention in the online portion of Spore!

While you can have your Christian belief, please realize that not all of us WANT to be Christian, I chose to believe what I believe because it’s what I believe is more logical and more likely.
I could, at any point, have gone and bought a bible, or gone down to the local church to attend mass.
The reason I didn’t is because I decided to base what I believe off research and people who are trying to take us forward and lift restrictions, not apply them through a single source of information, a single book upon which everything is based for Christianity.
Why are you flmaing quite possibly one of the best GAMES in existance, if you don’t agree with the video game, go and talk to the pope and ban video-games from christianity, it will make you feel better!
But just remember, enjoying a game and believing in one is different, Star Wars have some great games, but I don’t believe i’m a Jedi as an example!
Stop flaming the game just because you are trying to get people to believe what you believe.
You do know that, whether you believe it or not you are a fanatic, this really is fanaticism spreading Christianity in such a way.
I’m sure Christianity does not teach you to anger people over christian beliefs!
Yet that is exactly what you are doing whether it’s your intent or not (take a look at the posts and tell me i’m wrong…).
Before asking people to understand your beliefs, please understand other beliefs!
As an innocent and very normal human being, I have to say that, again whether you belive it or not, it is people like you that give christianity a bad name, not the people that flame it.

Lmao admin had me for a bit there but this is clearly one big joke it has to be, i refuse to beleive there is people that stupid and that ignorant and that unwilling to open up.

lol the bible said this happened so it happened right? the only differnce between the bible and lord of the rings is records and the timing, if Lord of the rings had been written over the couple hundred years that the bible was written…would we all beleive that our ancestors fought orcs and trolls?

i was raised catholic, went to catholic school for half my life and i never fully beleived in god, all those religion classes and weekly Mass just pushed me farther away, so dont use being raised with it as an excuse for your own gullibility/stupidity/ignorance.

ok… so really… i am fairly certain “gonna” and “internet” are not in the bible… this sounds like a fake!, and as far as i know fundamentalists only believe what the bible says!, however i feel i must reply to some of the comments here and say i believe there is a God and i also believe in evolution, i am a scientist at heart, just because things can be enplaned by science douse not mean that science created it, science is an explanation of how something happens or happened, it is also all theory that can change, after all scientists are saying how the large hadron collider can shatter some physics theory’s. But i also believe that God was behind it… i mean there isn’t any thing to say that God didn’t make the laws that govern the universe that we explain in science (physics and quantum mechanics), or that God didn’t guide evolution along and make us adaptable, and give us the thirst for knowledge that some of us have where we need to explain things with science. I’ve even heard the statement “Science is not proof of the absence of God but proof of his existence.”
*sorry for grammar and spelling*

Seriously, get a life.
I believe you say that people tend to be defensive when they’re wrong. Who is the one creating an entire blog just because someone challenged your opinions? You have a right to your opinions just like I have a right to mine and Will Wright has the right to make this game. Censorship is BAD. Or would you rather the whole country just be brainwashed robots? Have you ever actually read up on evolution? Because the evidence is pretty darn clear. But aside from whether creationism, evolution, or something else is the correct answer, if you really have faith in your own beliefs that should be enough. People like you are the reason I not only don’t believe in Christianity, but downright dislike it. Go believe what you want. That’s your right. But don’t try to brainwash others. I have plenty of Christian friends and I don’t go around trying to convince them not to believe in God. You know why that is? Because I RESPECT them and their opinions! But you obviously don’t respect the opinions of anyone but those who believe exactly what you do.

Hahahaha, this is awesome. I think the most disturbing thing about this site is that people will type up these long comments (that no one will really read) without even reading the entire post (which reveals it is a hoax, very well done). Those people were Rick Rolled to the MAX!

(psst, Logan – the those last few lines you’re wasting your time mocking are from a Rick Astley song. Congratulations, you’ve been rickrolled. So have we all, don’t worry about it)

By the way, hat’s off to you for hitting the punchline right on 9/11. I was wondering for a while why you seemed to be moving this along so quickly, but now it all comes together. Seriously, that was brilliant.

You know, I could’ve written something like that. Seriously. It just would take a year or so. The guy who right that is straight up genius making it probably the biggest and most popular prank/joke in the world.

dusk
“I stopped reading the moment you said “I don’t choose to have these beliefs” that phrase is complete and utter B.S. raised with them or not, if you didn’t believe it was true, it wouldn’t be YOUR belief, it would be A belief that you do not agree with.”

The dumb fuck got his atheist panties in such a bunch that he wouldn’t even read what the Admin was saying. Shows how close minded these bigoted fuck ups are.

i find your way of dealing with your dislike for spore appauling.How dare you say this poisons the minds of children when your religion pushes itself on people where and whenever possible.And i love how you go after one of the most harmless games out there…dont mention the games that glorify violence and torture no go after the one with the kiddie graphics…mature but really. who are you to say how this game will teach children horrible things. epsecially when christianity forces itself on children in school alone(which they are required to go to by law untill 16) my advice to you is get over yourself and deal with the worlds diffrences in religion.if you dont want your kids to play the game fine. but dont try and make everyone else do the same…that makes you an ignorant biggot

I do actual think this site is a joke but to just to fulfil my own sense of civic duty to educate someone who is clearly too ignorant to see. Just a tip, if everyone around you is calling you the ignorant person, saying they are ignorant, makes you a joke love.

Now forgive this ignorant person but, if God create man along with the rest of the world, who witnessed it? I mean someone had to have written it down when they saw it happen because otherwise the bible is just a story, fiction. You can say prophets delivered gods words in several ways and that people wrote this down. The main difference between 5 thousand years ago and today, is that when people saw angels back then, they were blessed, people see angels today, they are schizophrenic.

I ask, do believe that homosexuality is wrong? I mean it says in liviticus it is wrong so you must think that (heaven forbid you have an actual opinion). OK, so are you willing to sell one of your daughters? I mean thats what it promotes in the bible (if you have actually read it, im not too sure at this point). Will you stone your brother John for planted two different crops side by side? Do you permit any members of your family to play football knowing they are touching the skin of an unclean beast?

To be honest you seem like nothing more than a hypocrite and an ignorant person. If you can honestly say you do all those things i can have a small bit of respect, but at the end of the day you are using a computer, thats black magic. I mean, science, that doesn’t exist, show me all the evidence and proof you like, but a book written thousands of years ago about something that nobody saw happen, yea yea that has to be the truth. I really wonder what would have happened if you’d found lord of the rings instead of the bible.

Wow, simply amazing. I find it quite humorous that the most ignorant people commenting are those crying aloud that the blogger is the ignorant one. Are you guys ever gonna give it up? Or are you gonna let me down? Why not run around, and just desert the whole thing? I just want to tell you how I’m feeling… Try to make you understand.

Seriously. This is the best thing ever. I thought about it for a moment, looking at all the people that commented after not seeing through you’re ruse…and all I have to say is that it is sad. Sad that people are so stupid for one…and sad because the second they saw this they probably went ape-shit crazy. Seems they need to take a look in the mirror before jumping on such a heavy matter as religion. Brilliant, A+, if I ever meet you I would kiss the very ground you walk on.

Sir, you have yet to try to hold a civilized debate or conversation with anybody on the forums thay you have been willing to show us.
No, you may not say “God said so in the Bible, therefore it is proof”.
I hate to say this, seeing as how I myself am a Christian and beleive that the Bible is always right, but it just isn’t proof.
If it said a murderer was innocent with his name, adress, and dental records and the murderer presented it in court, it would be denied as eveidence. No it does not say anything about a murderer being innocent that I can recall, it is just to get the point across that the Bible saying something doesn’t mean it can be used as an argument.

You seem like a genuinely nice person, and I sympathize for you and the things you have received due to this website, but you have failed to do anything that has brought up anything to prove that EA itself is responsible for anything “evil” other than going against your religious beleifs, which is NOT a crime.
Just because it does not agree with your viewpoint does not mean you have the right to censor it. It is merely a tool which your kids may use to be creative. It is no more potentially dangerous to them than legos or playdo.
In fact, it’s less dangerous, seeing as how they aren’t physically there; you can’t have a baby swallow it, choke, and die.
As far as seeing penis monsters, you have no right to insult and nag EA for doing this, as they actively try to keep any things of that nature away from the internet. Even if they didn’t, it’s not their fault that their users want to create profane creatures, as it is just as possible to do things with legos or palydo.
As you yourself have acknowledged, the ESRB does NOT rate online material.
If it did, any online game with any communication at all would immediatley be rated M for mature at some point.

I would usually not mention this, however I am Christian and I find insult of you calling yourself as such, so I must approach you on your views of Christianity.
You seem to view anything that goes against or isn’t of your beleifs as something you must censor, destroy, or something of that nature. Jesus did not die for your sins so you could blast your beleif system onto other people regardless of their views. He lived and died for freedom and God’s word. We founded the United States of America on Christianity, a fact that is being erased from history, and is now being acknowledged via chain e-mail. Because of this, we allowed freedom; freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and many more.
You and many other, what I would like to call “mildly extremeist” Christians, seem to think that you get the ability to censor, prevent, etc. anything that goes against your views. You have lost your raison d’etre (reason for being) by trying to prevent a medium that focuses on giving the user freedom to do and create the game the way he wants. If you want to create demonic creatures that is your (or your childs) choice.
You may not blame the creators of the game for your child creating a penis creature, for instance, as you are the one who decided to create it (or worse, the child you raised).
Yet, you as a Christian should be all about freedom, no? Jesus practiced his religion when it was outlawed by the Romans, due to the fact that the Roman’s thought it was an evil beleif. Yet you, as a Christian, feel that this game should not be let out due to the fact that it gives its players alone the ability to decide what they will see, and that it shows a bit of the beleif known as evolution, which you as a “mildly extremeist” Christian go against. I myself am not sure why exactly it is that you go against evolution, seeing as how it was never denied or confirmed by the Bible, and opposition to it first started at the around a hundred years ago.
However, due to your being a Christian you should not be censoring this game. You should stand for freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of beleif and so forth.
You are not a true Christian, as you yourself tell so many people.
You probably won’t read this considering how big of a cesspit this comment section is, and quite frankly I wouldn’t bother looking either, so I am sending you an e-mail with this information in it once I can find your e-mail adress.
I shall pray for you as you have prayed for these other “misguided” people.

Hahahaha omg this is hilarious you are truly amazing. This has to be some kind of record… you had me going for a few days. Kudos to you. And people are STILL posting… LOL its a good thing i read it all the way through. I will seriously remember this for a looooong time.

hah. Somebody in reply 300 and some said “intelligent design”. The Internet is all about Information, is it not?
This site is the vaticans, the holy father requested a survey on atheist/pagans/christians/creatures arguments.
The hunt is on. Has been for centuries.
Or Admin is truly simply and honestly someone who is really worried.

You sir, are a borderline FASCIST. The only thing you say is that “Beleive this ONE idea, and nothing else.” That is the basis of fascism, and this blog is showing how ignorant some people are. I know that you’re entitled to your own opinion, but IT’S A GAME! I don’t even think you’re an active gamer based on all the heavily biased statement’s you’ve been making. There may or may NOT be a God, but the theory of Creationism is broken as there’s ZERO proof. Evolution AT LEAST has some factual backing. Learn to put the shoe on the other foot.

Oh and P.S. I Agree with everyone, get off the Internet and take your right-wing Fascist beliefs elsewhere!

Haha, half these comments are comedy gold. This is a perfect example of people nowadays… read the first few lines or hear just a piece of something and then flip-the-fuck-out without even realizing that there is more to be known.

Hats off to you admin for this excellent social experiment and Rick Roll.

1-
First of all, children dont need Spore to learn about evolution!
Darwin’s theories (and many others) are taught in school to my children, yours, and myself.
Mabe you should go to school and actually LEARN something.
Oh, and by the way, just in case… You know the planets and stars dont revolve around earth, right?
And because you never know, I also have to tell you that this planet is not flat!

2-
After taking a look at what is written here I think you spend way too much time searching the internet for qweer images and videos. Besides the fact that you must have a very boring life to bother to write all this just for a game…
God gave you a brain, right? Then mabe you should start to USE it!
The first thing you should do is use that time intelligently and go to school to learn something usefull. After you have awakened your mind and EVOLVED your brain, mabe you could spend your time looking for a job or something to fill your empty life.

3-
If it bothers you so much that your children learn theories like “evolution” mabe you should take them out of school so they can have such a meaningless life as yours.
AMEN!

This is hysterical if any of you take this seriously…Welcome to the internet the “christian” is a troll and even though he laughably puts forth “his opinions” you still take him seriously. Troll garnering replies. Simple as that. You see the picture of Will Wright with a “stop” sign over his face. Pure comedy.

>You have done a great disservice to everyone whose lives were lost on September 11, 2001, seven years ago.

Seriously, rick-rolling on Patriot Day?

That’s low.<

Go home yankee. Are you still shellshocked that your brain cannot think of anything but the shame and degradation of the untouchable second best GODs nation on earth? Get on ya feet soldier and stop crying. WTC…5000 dead people is half a division lost.
Losing a division is always bad, but is known to have had happened. Here ahm losing my english, scuseme.

Thank you so called “freaky bible twat lady.” You brought everyone who loves Spore closer together. This was a good cover-up, the whole “Spore promotes the theory of evolution!” topic. Boo crazy Christian lady twat. HOORAY SPORE!

>Your crusade against gaming industry is ludicrous. You American fundamentalists are making life increasingly difficult for other, less conservative Christians around the world<
forgot to copy paste the response #.

I understand his feelings. I left the church of anti-pope and will never join different church so God help me. I am not christian, never really was.
The attacks on Spore, if they are not the greatest PR gig of pcgaminghistory (hell I want to work for EA, genitor, driver, anyjob. Mr. EA is the Dr. House of digital entertainment)
Google Ads…hm. Google checks my mail, so say some…interesting
I like this, makes me think philosophical. Pants down everybody!
Harhar

You……offended me…. This better be a joke, you change the word of the Bible and blastfiend at in a false form….in “Genesis 8:23-27″ WHICH DOES NOT EXIST!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE LIED AND SINNED AGANST THE HOLY SPIRIT BY CHANGING GOD’S WORD THAT MARKS IT IN (REVELATION 22:19). AND THAT IS THE MOST UNFORGIVING SIN EVER!!!! YOU OFFENDED ME AND DISCRACED IT ALL. I CAN’T BELIVE YOU!!!!!

OK SO I REAAAAAAAALLY DOUBT THAT ANYONE EVER IS READING THIS, BUT HEY, LADY, GET A LIFE, OK?

WE DONT FREAKIN CARE ABOUT HOOOOOOOOOOW RELIGIOUS YOU ARE, OK????

WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU WANNA BELIEVE, BUT HEY: WE BELIEVE IN WHAT WEEEEEE WANNA BELIEVE. UNDERSTAND THAT? GOOD, NOW:

EACH PERSON BELIEVES IN WHAT HIM/HER WANNA BELIEVE, BUT YOU MUST UNDERSTAND, THIS ALL WAS MADE BY WHAT WE NORMAL PEOPLE CALL E-V-O-LUTION.

YOU ALSO MUST (yea, MUST) GET THIS INSIDE YOUR LIL ALMOST-USELESS BRAIN:
RELIGIONS WERE INVENTED (YEA,INVENTED!!!) BY THOSE OOOLD CAVEMEN, SO THEY COULD EXPLAIN ALL CREATIONISM. WELL, THE ONLY REASON THEY DIDNT “END UP” RELIGION WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THE TRUTH (YEA, THATS RIGHT) IS CUZ THEY ALSO DISCOVERED THAT “BELIEVING IN SUMTHING BIGGER” WAS GOOD FOR THE PERSON (MENTALLY).

NOW I SHALL SAY: THIS GOOD-FOR-MIND THINGY IS WAY,WAAAAAAAAY OVERDONE IN YOUR LIL MIND, LADY.

PS: CONGRATULATIONS FOR GETTING ABOUT … 60 DOLLARS WITH THIS WEBSITE. THATS THE ONLY THING IM PROUD ABOUT YOU. YOU MADE THE EASIEST 60 DOLLARS IN ABOUT … WHAT? 4 DAYS? NOW YOU CAN EVEN GO AND BUY SPORE FOR YOU LIL KID ALREADY!!! =DDD

People like you are the reason this world has as much hate and war as it does. Religion is a farce used to control the minds of weak individuals for the supposed good of man, but instead with an ulterior motive that is usually a combined bit of money for the church (I.E. the people who run it) and to eventually control enough people that the world will essentially be run by the Church.

Thanks for your participation in fucking over the world, ya dumb bitch.

Hey man,
I’m a Christian, and even a Christian who believes in a 6-day creation.
Your making one very giant assumption in ALL of this, and that is this:
That the intention of the game is to educate.

I’m sure others have said this, but….it-is-a-game. Do you let your son play other games that you believe are fictional? In my opinion, video games is exactly where evolution should be – because it makes a great game. Provide your son with the instruction he needs to play it as the game that it is, and move your efforts to a more worthwhile location – schools for example.

I will never know the truth. Not in this life anyway. Maybe I do not like to know if something like antispore.com is really happening or not.
As I said earlier, maybe a real person is really concerned. And here we go, rude, hammering, cursing, threatening, wthf is wrong, did we not enjoy a good kinderstube?
And I should not have posted what I did about 9/11. That was not funny.

Unknown One: Read the end of Anti-Spore’s post. It has the lyrics of an 80′s song. All arguments are pointless and just make everyone here look like a complete and udder fool. I for one thought it was a great prank, and well executed, showing the stupidity and irrationalism of humans.

i am only sixteen but i know more than your average kid. when i went to school i was planing to fall asleep but my friend who bought spore told me about your sight and i couldn’t wait to get home check out your web page i was brought up as baptist but as i grew and learned that all gods are fake not just yours but all, but i under stand that believing in one brings comfort cause when my dad died i prayed to seek comfort but then i stopped and some people like my mom believe. i am one who is level headed so i am able to see both points of arguments like this cause i take in all the facts not just the one i want to hear. i am not sorry for what i just said or for nor what i am about to say. WERE YOU DROPPED ON YOUR FREAK IN HEAD OR WERE YOUR PARENTS DIE HARD GOD LOVERS LIKE THAT LADY WHO PROTESTS MARINES( THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP YOU SAFE AT NIGHT) AND KEITH LEDGERS FUNERAL!!! sorry about that i just had say that from wat i read. how can you say science is wrong when science is “practiced” by humans and humans are supposedly made by god not evolution. and do you really know wat science is. i will tell it best guess and facts, and those facts are based on evidence. saying evolution is like saying you have no need to eat to live. evolution has been proven look at the piles and piles of proof that can found by people. but i am not saying evolution is absolute. cause there are somethings that we cant explain 100% like the lead from apes to humans that genome is still missing, but you cant say animals dont evolve to better them selfs to save them selfs from dying. i am not saying you are wrong but you should look at both sides and get your facts start.

p.s.

the computer you are using to do all off this is made by science and since you dont think its real so does that mean the computer you is not real cause if it not then wat i am touching right now, and i hope you dont die from any off these threats made tords your life and your kids unless you were convicted of a crime

Quality example of tl;dr, my friend. Very well executed. The sad thing is, there are some people who actually do think this way. Stupid people are all over the internet. The majority of us (including me) just got it backwards.

If you feel so strongly about your own opinion and belief about how the world was formed- DO NOT push your ideas upon other people. Its called free will. Don’t believe that just because a few people made some innapropriate things doesn’t mean we all will.

Spore is a game that everyone can enjoy even if you do believe in God. You don’t have to believe in evolution to enjoy a damn game.

Get out of your closet in the old country and open your eyes to the realities of the new world.

if this was not true, nobody would have gotten all excited about Anti-Spore. This is more than a rickroll. It is a collection of IPs of people who would not vote republican for religious reasons. Their votes will be void in the upcoming election…just kidding

I dont get why you want us to respect your beliefs when you create a website just to push your beliefs on others, I was raised as a roman catholic and have decided I dont really believe anymore. The reason because I find more proof in science than I do religion. But you see I dont create a website called “SUPERDUPERAWESOMEGOODSPORE” to promote my beliefs that spore is a great game because it supposedly teaches kids that terrible evil evolution. Have you ever thought that all of the bible is not meant to be taken literally, rather interpreted?

yes, but what about the true meaning that is hidden behind the obvious? No concerned christian mother behind all this? Thousands of monsters going berzerk on nothing but where are the angry men in reality? In WOW?

Brilliant work, a lot of effort but certainly a lot of reward. Best Rick Roll I’ve ever seen, especially when you see at least a few hundred people above didn’t even bother to read the entire post before commenting. Goes to show how retarded Religion makes people. I wonder if EA actually had a hand in this? I’m sure they would be quite happy with all the attention the game is getting. Congratulations on a successful experiment.

ok, i am a christian and love God dearly…but this site is RETARDED. IT’S A VIDEO GAME! Not satan…shouldn’t you be more concerned with way more violent games like GOW 2 (which btw is going to be awesome)?

I don’t get why ppl of faith react this way to games/movies/music. If you hate it so much, then make something better and more innovative! Otherwise get back to more important things….like actually being a GOOD example of Christ and not some finger-pointing religious nerd. I seriously doubt God or Jesus would react this way…they certainly didn’t back then…

This is one christian gamer who WILL be play Spore b/c it’s a fun game…and cause I know enjoying it will certainly NOT send me to hell…

In Genesis 1:2 there is more talk about God’s work. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science. From this God moved to creating all the creatures, notice there is never talk of creatures ‘evolving’ into other creatures, instead God is able to make the creatures as he will including man.

Errr, what exactly is clear here? You have not proved the existance of god (infact the whole bible does not prove the existance of god – just how easy mans mind can be twisted and manipulted)

No man can ever prove the existance of God, or the gods. If you believe in your God so much, why (I am assuming, as it is a human trait) do you fear death? Surely you would go to heaven?

I am clear of mind. I live a good life … and when I die, if there is a God, I believe that I will be forgiven for whatever sins I have comitted, however, when I die and if there are no God(s), then I would never know that I existed. I have no fear of death, but that does not mean I want to die. If God exists, and sends me to hell simply because I do not believe in what mere humans tell me, then I would say that Satan has defeated God and is acting as God, and I would rather go to Hell and help whatever being is there, because any creature that sends you to a life of eternal damnation is not worth recognition.

For all the fools out there. Read the whole post before making comments. You guys have been had. Look up “Rickroll” on wikipedia if you don’t get it.<

Are you a “Case of Poe’s Law”? What if this looks like Rick’n'Roll but is not?
If you exchange “Never” with “always” and vice versa you get ” 27.”Always truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will never be cases of Poe’s Law.”
The last part of the blog could be ironic. Or satanic. Play it backwards.

I think you are very, very mistaken about Yaweh creating things better than he. Let us use for example the story of Frankenstein, by Mary Shelly.

In the text, Frankenstein creates a creature to be the most beautiful creature ever, to worship him as its creator. As per that, we shall say Victor Frankenstein is our symbolic “Yaweh”, the Creature being “Man”.
Now, if you continue to read the text, you’ll find that the Creature does -not- turn out to be the most beautiful creature on Earth, just as Man acts in very, very ungodly ways, i.e., killing to protect the Ten Commandments, which directly say -not to kill-. No, the Creature turns out hideous, just as man is. Of course, the story goes on, and characters develop. Eventually, we see that the Creature, Man, has become far better than his creator, Victor, Yaweh, in that the Creature merely wishes to live happily, and his Creator denies him that simply out of malice.

Does Yaweh deny many good lives?

What of those starving in the streets, who are loyal followers? Even if they are righteous and pure, still they suffer, through no fault of their own. What did they ever do to deserve that?

If you want to bring Yawh into any arguments, you must first prove to me that he is actually a benevolent god, for I have seen more examples of either his hatred or his lack of concern for his subjects than I have his love and compassion.

A specific biblical example of this, the Book of Job. Here, all Job has done is have faith in Yaweh, to what return? Yaweh punished him relentlessly, caring not of his pleading for an end.

That’s all I have to say.

Oh, and by the way-
nice trolling. I can respect a Mensch who can slip Rick Astley into serious business while none notice. Internets.

Watching with an eye full of salt and a head full of amusement on Kotaku, I couldn’t help but want to comment on the counterpoint and subsequent overture of this most awesome of symphonies.

Sir, you are a God amongst nerds. I accept this rickroll with humility and gratitude. You have truly restored my faith in the spirit of Darwinism, and I shall sleep soundly in the knowledge that no matter how bad things may look for humanity – the idiots may yet hurl themselves in to oblivion, leaving the rest of us to point and laugh to the great strains that is Rick Astley’s finest work.

I knew something was up with this site when I saw some of the admins responses to posts. They seemed too internet-humor based to be taken seriously.

I’ll admit, the first two or so days, this all seemed very real. No indication that it really was a parody, until the video of the girl explaining the theory of evolution came up, and the way the girl spoke seemed odd to me… then I saw some admin responses, and I really started believing this was all an elaborate joke.

Hell, I like rickrolling. I wanted to play a pc game originally, but I have spent the last hours here. I feel quite entertained, inspired and amused. Scared, horrified by the masses rage. Better than any game. True or false, hoax or life.
I sure hope Google ads pay well and it is money well earned, rick or roll. At worst I have to admire the creativity of 21st century missionaries.
At best it is EA made and like any other company they will do anything to make money. They do every day. It is their nature.

why did you give yourself away? You are going to get drastically less traffic because you aren’t controversial. Meanwhile before you were easily making a lot of money from all this free traffic. As long as you kept being controversial about spore you would continue attracting attention. I don’t understand.

There something evil about spore, its called EA and they have a evil DRM making spore a rental game at 50 bucks.

Plenty of proof for evolution so where is proof of god/allah no the bible aint proof, now the non religious people just finished the Large Hadron Collider aka particle accelerator 6.000.000.000,00 worth of equipment just to proof evolution, realy so hard to believe ower existance is just random.

I would love to hear about people who didn’t buy spore because of this website, and not about the crappy DRM which is a reason for me not to buy this game.

ha ha ha, this site was pretty entertaining. I figure this is one of three things;

1: Your more organized and thorough version of the average Internet Troll, doing it wither for laughs, internet fame, or selling on all the emails this generates. You’re pretty good too, if this is the case.

2. Reverse psychology advertising for the game itself. If this is the case, it’s pretty clever, but has the flaw of mostly only drawing in people who already like the game. It may help to get the exposure to some who may not otherwise hear of the game, but whether the numbers justify the effort, and whether the old adage “any publicity is good publicity” is true would deem whether it’s a sound strategy.

3. You actually believe what you are saying. In which case, fair enough. The internet is full of opinions, bursting at the seams, in fact. Your opinion is just one of these. And that’s all you have. An opinion. you may believe it’s more, because your parents told you so, and you based your opinion on a really old book that a lot of other people base their opinions on too. It’s also worth noting that all those other people that base their opinions on this same old book? their opinions often are different to yours on many matters.

Truth is a relative concept. One person’s truth is another’s foolish superstition, or outlandish fantasy.

All we can really have is ideas about how the world actually works, ideas that we refine with further evidence. And this is what science aims to do. Start with a theory, test the theory, and use the results to modify the theory and hopefully make it more accurate and consistent. Whether this theory reflects how things actually work, or just how they seem to work, it’s getting us closer than just blindly following 2000 year old stories in a book written by superstitious zealots that believed enslaving their fellow humans was okay, because the deiety they chose to believe in supposedly said it was OK.

You know, god also wanted people to broaden their horizons and learn new thing. You’re just ignorant bible thumper who doesn’t practice what he preaches. And last time I checked, Pride was the worse of all the Seven Deadly sins.

You are clearly retarded,I’d say something of substance,but really you don’t deserve it. You are simply very,very,very,very ignorant,stupid and are part of what’s wrong with society. You are the anchor that keeps us from advancing.

Now listen my good girl, the little problem you seem to have is that you think science is a religion. Like you said, science didn’t create earth, indeed.. It certainly did not, but something else did and I find it unlikely that it was your imaginary friend. Evolution theory is not something you believe in all of your heart or burn in hellfire… it’s a theory… theory that how life was formed and it doesn’t say that it’s true or not, when it comes to science, you could say “it’s very likely” as is evolution theory. But when it comes to god and religion, these are beliefs, and you were raised with someone hammering this stuff into your head, just like I was, but the difference is that I began to question them. What reads in bible is indeed gods word, but then I ask from you… which one is your god? Money or Political gain? because those are two things that has shaped that book. Don’t believe me? read little history dear girl, or are you really blue eyed enough to believe no one never changed the context for political leverage?

Seriously! Rickrolled AGAIN! Love that song though…and all you posting at this point against this site are FUCKING IDIOTS!!!!! YOU BEEN RICKROLLED!!! Learn to read…read the WHOLE article! Goddamn Dumbshit Americans!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI

Why can’t anyone be civilized in here?! You’re not doing anything by calling this person names. There’s really only one response to these kinds of argument that she puts forth:

Explain them.

How did “God” create earth, how did “God” create animals? And if your answer is something like “divine intervention”, please explain how divine intervention works. And do this with logic, not with the Bible.

The truth is:
An unknown mecanism is the END of religious thinking. That same unknown is the BEGINNING of science.

Religious people stop when they can’t explain something and call that something “the act of God”. Science instead begins findning out what that something is and how it works. Thats why these “acts of God” becomes fewer and fewer for every scientific breakthrough, some time ago the everything from diseases to the weather was “acts of God”, now we know what bacteria/viruses are and we know about meteorology.

Evolution is probably the MOST proven scientific theory out there. To not accept that theory includes not accepting large parts of science, like biology as a whole…
Interested people can read some books other than the Bible, for instance from Mikael Shermer from the Sceptics scociety called “Why Darwin matters”.

sorry, but seriously. how can you get so hateful just because people dont see things your way.

so apparently everyone that doesn’t think what you think is going to burn in hell, and not only that. while they’re still alive they have to listen to you complaining about things that have no direct impact on you, yet for whatever reason you think you have the right to tell everyone they’re wrong.

you know how else did that? Hitler. anyone who didn’t fit his idea of “perfection” got gassed. what makes you any better then Hitler? sure you aren’t KILLING people. but your trying to stop people from making an honest living JUST because you don’t see things the same way.

take your religion as how it was meant to be taken. as a guide line. not a rule book, not a journal of events that happened. A GUIDE LINE. you realize your being a hypocrit. telling everyone they should follow your “way” [or else they burn in hell] when your “way” tells you not to force it onto others.

its a persons own choice when it comes to beliefs. if i want to believe in evolution, dont scold me about it. just because you believe in creationism doesn’t mean i should tell you your wrong. i seriously don’t care.

it’s very basically racism. except your putting people down because of what they’re beliefs are, and not they’re skin color.

its nice to see your a person who really cares about what they believe in, but your taking it too far.

ITS A VIDEO GAME. if you think kids learn everything they know from video games, your wrong. and if they do, its not the developers fault. its the parents fault. for not teaching them.

i played Mario and Zelda as a kid, does that mean i like black magic, or mushrooms, or that i believe in monsters? HECK NO.

i play counter-strike, team fortress 2, and call of duty 4. does that mean i think violence can solve problems? NO.

why don’t you set a positive role model for those around you and just follow your religion, instead of pushing it. a lot more people would consider “following the religious path” if they saw a group of helpers, good citizens, and kind people then they would if they just saw a bunch of protesters and picket signs marching around in front of movie producers and video game developers.

I’m not sure why are you so against Spore, if you didn’t know Spore is not a God’s tool, it’s a game. People can pretend to be a god in it and have fun that way.

Also I’d like to know what does Spore teaches about something against the “belief” thing of yours? I mean, if you load up the game and start creating creature – you throw in idea what your creature look like, it’s just a moving image – not a living thing.

Hah, i’d never really comment on this but this is definitely worth it.
I’m AMAZED at how many people just didn’t read it at all before commenting. Probably skipping to the end after reading a single word. It’s really hilarious.
Great job advertising the game basically. I commend you.

Ha, this guy is funny. Honestly, some of the stuff you say, it almost seems like a hoax or a bad joke. But I’ll assume you are actually as insane and ignorant as you appear…

Creationism is such a load of crap, honestly. I’m glad Spore was created. I hope more games like this will come out, it’s more fun than reading the bible and they might actually learn something; or at least be inspired to learn more about Science and the Theory of Evolution.

Show me GOD and I will will believe in him. I will NEVER worship him. You want a reason? Cancer is one of the thousand reasons… Sorry, but you worshippers are certainly wasting your precious time on Earth. Think about it. Now… ARE you really offended by the game, or do just you want attention, as always?

You’re living after the 7-days theory, right? Nice… There is no light without a shadow or darkness. If god is the light, why there is shadow as well? Evil things are darkness, right? If darkness & shadow is the same thing, than you agree with me if i say god = evil? There is no light without darkness..

Hi. Did GOD actualy made a clear statement about how blasphemous is Spore ? I’d be happy to hear from him, he’s been quite for a while. Exactly like one of my cats who sort of disapeared for a while and that I found dead eventualy.

“Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won’t mistake for the real thing.”

In other words, No matter how bizzare, outrageous, or just plain idiotic a parody of a Fundamentalist may seem, there will always be someone who cannot tell that it is a parody, having seen similar REAL ideas from real religious/political Fundamentalists.
The following is an actual Internet post to Biblically defend a flat Earth:

“All I was saying was that either the earth is flat, and the bible is correct, or the earth is round, and the bible is incorect, i’m going to study the issue more and deside for myself which route I want to take. Either Atheist evolutionist, who agrees with all of mainstream sciences, or flat earth litteral bible believer.
I’m leaning toward being an atheist, because if I can’t believe the bible to be completly litteraly true, then I can’t believe Jesus when he speaks about heaven, etc..
That would make the moon landing a fake, and pretty much all of modern science false…”

I cannot even for a second believe that this is a real website, in which case you’ve all been suckered.
If it is real, it is a very narrow minded viewpoint that isn’t shared by the rest of the Christian community.

We all know that the Bible states that God created the universe. We all know that science tells us that a Big Bang did. What we cannot answer is what caused the Bang in the first place. may have been God. Might not.

To set up a website and start spouting this nonsense in such a hysterical fashion only degrades what all Christians are striving for. You are tarring us all with your broad brush and making us look like nutters.

The game, Spore, is a game. Fantasy, pure and simple but to think that people are working hard to pervert childrens minds only reveals what kind of ridiculous nonsense is being spouted here.

Get real. Get a life. Stop wasting your time and love God for what he is and if you really must be anti evolutionary how about diverting your website to constructively argue on all of the aspects that support evolutionary matters rather than this ridiculous nonsense.

In raving on like a nutter about unproven, inflammatory claims you are, in fact, inciting chaos and speaking lies, which means you have come to lose your path and have started to follow that of the Devil.

my son, who told you to repeat my words in the meanings of satan? do you think the inquisition is my work? do you think its ok to keep slaves like its written in the five books of moses? do you think that its ok to kill members of other religion?
pls go to your cave and stay there because science is the mean of the really blessed.

Obviously the woman who created this did not expect such a critical backlash. I do not believe that she is as used to the cynicism and hate of the collective mindset of the internet as most are accustomed to and expect. I guarantee she reads every comment and takes them seriously. Her opinions may not be well informed, not because of “OMGZ CHRISTIANITY IZ GAYZ,” like many of you have stated, but because she hasnt even played the game. I think what I am getting at is this woman is concerned for the well being of her kids and instead of getting an informed debate all of you brainless fucks have probably traumatized her.

I love attention. Please give me attention. X just came out and it is the anti-christ!. I know this because I love god and know that this is anti-god. Please make this viral by using the internet as my tool and my completely fundamentalist view on Y as the handle to gain notoriety for my blog site!

Seen this all before, just go away and don’t feed the troll. If you want to see what a troll is, search for anything Fred Phelps related and see the family squirm for attention.

Seriously, I suggest you read some of this stuff, from the entry “understand my beliefs please”:

But the Bible teaches us that God was not done with man. For we were His creation and He then spoke to Noah in Genesis 8:21-27 after the flood.
“21. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never gonna give you up. 22. “Never gonna let you down.” 23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.” 24. “Never gonna make you cry.” 25. “Never gonna say goodbye.” 26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.” 27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”

beliefs are beliefs. if everyone would keep their beliefs to themselves the world would be more peacefull. god, budha or a thousand hindu gods it doesn’t matter cause the people that truly believe in them will be fanatics. i’m ortodox(at least baptized) and what i like about this religion is that we don’t really care about the others. there is a new sect or a new product worshiping what is called satan? this church does not do much. it waits for the sect to die out cause it believes it is right and that it will win. violently defending means there is some doubt there. don’t try and ban this. the more something is banned the more atractive it is. the world is a good example

Is this a serious website? I can’t believe it… Hey man, evolution is a fact – creationism is a religious thing. You should think about – EA is not on war with creationism – the made a game on a scientific fact!!!!

Mate, I am a Christian too, maybe not a very good one, but still. What I have learn from this religion are a few things: love for all beings, compassion, forgiveness, helping others when they are in need, the idea that we can all happily live together, each one with their own particularities. You don’t have any of these values, so I must assume you are not really a Christian. Posting some acussations in the name of God (I don’t think He ever agrees with that, like He doesn’t agree with all the wars and killings in His name), hiding your real identity (a good Christian would stand for his ideas no matter what. I don’t know any Christian who said he is afraid to die for his beliefs and religion, better check the Bible for that) and adding ads so you get money from this discussion is the worst example of Christianity I’ve ever seen. Maybe you must judge yourself first before judging others.

Here you point out that you was raised in a belife system, by not taking any chanse in exploring other alternative. i am not saying that you did wrong, but your parents did when they did not give you any options in other belifes then cristian god.

“Everyone I am sure knows the passage that in the beginning God created heaven and earth. But there is more then just this one that people remember.”

Wich is why i hardly set my faith on a book that is written by man ages ago (2000 years ago i think? ).

“People of science claim that the Earth is the way it is because of millions of years of time and science effecting it. ”

Wrong, those who belive in evulotion have newer say that was scince that created earth, it happend in many many years (miljons).

“But we are taught and believe that our world is this way and has the aged look because of the flood of Noah. ”

Sorry that have newer happend except in your book.

“It was the waters covering the Earth on such a grand scale that caused the aging that people of science claim as proof.”

Sorry no one really know where the water comes from. we can only asume as you do, and you must lern the difference between THEORY and KNOWING is. Becus in the bibel it say it was so, and science asuming it was so…

I am not question your faith i am question why i should belive in this nonsens, becus my parents DIDENT rasi me to belive in christ they even dident rasi me to belive in their politics standing (they are more right and i am more left), but thats okay i lowe them for that becus i have to choose what to belive in.

I was raised Christian, and I’m happy about that. But my mother gave me a choice. To stay with God, or explore other possibilities. God is a wonderful being to follow, and he teaches wonderful things to people so we can be great and good.

But, evolution is a theory. Darwinism is taught in schools, even to your Christian children. There will always be games, and books, and shows, and etc., about evolution. I’m happy you feel so strongly about Anti-Spore, but if you believe so strongly in Creationism under God, Spore shouldn’t be anything but a fun game.

Will Wright is also responsible for putting Magic in his other Sims games. Shouldn’t you also be criticizing those?

Remember, God loves all of his children. He even loves me, and I’m and Atheist.

As for making pornographic creatures, just don’t let your children register their game online. That means they can’t get custom content from the spore website from other players, limiting the evil creatures. Tell your kids you don’t want to see them making them, either.

I like Spore, a lot. I live a full and rich life. And if God does exist, and that judgment does come, then woe is me. But untill then, I’m content. And I’m happy you believe in God. =)

The belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so that he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree…’

Haha I didn’t notice that line, probably because I switch off at the mere thought of scripture. Nice one! Although to be honest I wouldn’t be surprised to see this kind of thing pop up for real, thats the worrying thing.

[i]“I think part of the problem that is going on here is that the bulk of you are ignorant as to the word of God. I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in”[/i]

This is probably one of the best arguments for the freedom of religion, and you offer it yourself. The fact is that people are raised into a belief. It may be religion, it may be evolution. But either way, both groups of people should be free to believe what they want. And people should be free to make the games they want to, or play the games they want to.

If you think a game goes against everything you believe in, then by all means don’t play it. You may even be so restrictive as to forbid your children to play it, alas you have that right untill they are 18 or so. But it is almost bordering on hatred to claim that something like a game, or tekst, or opinion is wrong just because your parents thaught you it’s wrong.

Basicly, you believe something that was written down by a Roman 500 years after the events he wrote about, and you believe in a God who has been worshipped by the jewish people ages before Christianity. Other people believe in teachings even older than that. I myself ‘believe’ in science. When I die I’ll know who was right, but untill that day, don’t try to save me or anyone else, as all people are free to look for their own way to save themselves.

HAHAH.. I even sendt this guy a mail, i was totaly believing it. Coming from americans i belive anything. There are no limits to their stupidity. By that I obviously mean Religious Zealots, not ordinary americans..

I want to take part in this discussion, because I belief in God, but not as well in all the bible. Sometimes the bible is only a great diasaccord. Look at the part, you quotet, Gen 1;2: First there is nothing, then there is water, where God is moving upon. But Water is created on the second day. How could there possibly BE water on the first day?

An another thing, I don’t understand fundamentalistic creationists as well as I can’t understand fundamentalistic evolutionists. These are first both theories, nothing is proved, everything possible. And, and that’s why I can’t understand fundamentalism in this case: I isn’t mutually exclusive. Why can’t there be God, who said: “Well, I wan’t to make animals, so I create some” but he doesn’t create them, like they where today, but left room for evolution? Maybe God IS the evolutionary motor, we’re looking for? I think, it isn’t in the sense of God, that there is such a deeply conflict about how and why life is, how it is today. If only one way would be the right one, God would never have allowed us to think of another.

And here it comes to SPORE: This game is EXACTLY how I think about evolution and creation. There is an evolutionary line, but every part of it is a new creation itself. I won’t say the player is a god, that’s going to far, but it can help us to smooth down the differences, given that BOTH parties come to think first.

I am AGAINST this game ! I have never seen any other game that was so unrealistic !
The matrix made sense, but tetris ??
Where on earth do little strangely shaped 2D blocks fall down, and you have to press left, right and turn to make them fit into eachother ? If you know about this place, let me know.
The creators of tetris are probably very creative masterminds, who are planning to take over the world and cause chaos and disaster to the human race, mother earth and will force us to obey them as slaves with chains around our neck. They will make us dig holes with our bare hands and then they will fill them up with strangely shaped cubicles, hoping they will get a few full rows and get the bonuspoints !
help me save our children from the evil tetris and its creators, stand with me in my war against evil surrealistic games that will conquer the planet !!

**Disclaimer**
I am being sarcastic towards the fuckwit who owns this blog. He is trying to bash a game with comments that make no sense at all. So did i. I have no true hate against tetris and its creators. I played it with joy about 15 years ago.

OMFG YOU ARE SUCH A DUMBASS YOU THINK THAT SOMETHING THAT WAS MADE FOR PURE FUN IS EVIL AND IS CORRUPTING CHILDREN WTF! HOW IS IT CORRUPTING CHILDREN BY GIVING THEM CREATIVITY JUST GO SIT IN YOUR CHURCH AND PREY YOUR ‘LORD’ AND ASK HIM I HAVE FOUND THE ANTI-CHRIST ITS A GAME WHICH LETS YOU CREATE YOUR OWN CREATURE AND RAISE HOWEVER YOU LIKE YOU BLOODY IDIOT WHAT ABOUT GTAIV HUH GO COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT IN THAT YOU KILL PEOPLE AND STEAL CARS AS FOR SPORE THERES NOT EVEN A DROP OF BLOOD IN THE WHOLE GAME JUST GET A FUCKING HOBBY OH WHAT YOU DO HAVE A HOBBY BEING A RELIGOUS FANATIC!!!!

Your posts and your view, but most importantly your twisted observations and conclusions are simply hilarious.

In your world there’s no room for the possibility that you’re wrong (on a number of things). You seem a very simplistic and narrowminded person who’s been molded too much into 1 direction. Your belief is just that and nothing more… A belief. What keeps amazing me is that we atheists and believers of Darwin’s evolution theory don’t pester people with a belief either. We leave you to your beliefs. Eventho your beliefs lack all kinds of proof and Darwin’s (scientific) evolution theory is based on years of observation and bound to existing cases of similar evolutionary effect. Worst case the evolution theory is a belief as well carrying a lot of support.

Your attitude is a dangerous one and is very similar to that of the catholics who killed hundreds of innocent people (so-called heathens) in their cleansing crusades. You’re way to self-assured and self-righteous and now you’re making this the problem of others. I suggest you learn about this thing called diversity, lighten up and realize it’s just a game…

This is the true reason you upset people. People aren’t angry because they’re wrong (very simplistic assumption by the way). People are angry because you are unrightfully messing with their freedom of choice.

Science has never had anything to do with the creation of the world and/or universe. Nor has it ever claimed to be the creator. Btw, who would be the so called “science”. It’s called science because it’s an art. Science is not the people who practice it.

On one hand, we have those “scientists” who spend their entire careers on discovering the nature of all things around us. They can profit from the fruits of the labours of generations of the most brilliant minds on earth who have done the same.
On the other hand, we have an ancient religious text, eh.. actually MANY contradicting ancient religious texts.
Hmmm… which one should I believe ?

I suggest that believers of creationism first make up their minds _WHICH_ of the religious traditions is the correct one before bothering us. So.. which is it going to be ? The Hindu traditions ? The Muslim traditions ? etc. etc. etc.

superb! Gotta love sheep. That’s why god made them, so they can entertain us clever people…“21.

The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never gonna give you up. 22. “Never gonna let you down.” 23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.” 24. “Never gonna make you cry.” 25. “Never gonna say goodbye.” 26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.” 27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”

brilliant. I imagine that most of the hater responding on here are just more stupid, while, blinkereed americans…the root of all evil!

“People of science claim that the Earth is the way it is because of millions of years of time and science effecting it.”

It is not true, no scientist would tell you that ‘science effected the earth’ in being what it is, because:

Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning “knowledge” or “to know”) is the effort to discover, and increase human understanding of how the physical world works. Through controlled methods, scientists use observable physical evidence of natural phenomena to collect data, and analyze this information to explain what and how things work. Such methods include experimentation that tries to simulate natural phenomena under controlled conditions and thought experiments. Knowledge in science is gained through research.

The only thing that pisses me off even more than this site being real, is that it turned out to be fake. People’s emotions have been toyed with and manipulated. Precious time has been wasted. All for a decent profit too, I’m sure. Hope you can live with it. And if this is an EA marketing scheme, rest assured you’ve lost my business.

Get a life you moron. God and Evolution are compatible. I believe and God, and im a deep suporter of Evolution.
May God have mercy about the Weak of Spirit like you and the other creationists around.
On the other hand…. GO FUCK YOURSELF! AND TRY TO LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT SCIENCE YOU FUNDAMENTALIST MORON!!!

Because it’s writen in a book where people walk over water and seas split on command doesn’t mean it’s real. If i write down that earth is an aged apple, am i wrong? NO! it’s true because i wrote it down!

and even if you’re right about all this sh*t… stop flaming spore and start flaming more serious stuff like GTA4? i think killing someone is a little bit worse then believing we’re descendants from apes. in my opinion…

still… “please understand my believe” same goes for you, try to get out that tunnelview and look at the world without thinking “uuuh some old dude put this tree here because he’s likes aged apples!”

PS: you’re almost as worse as the muslims that blow themselves up, only you aren’t blowing yourself up yet. (altough the USA does blow them up in your place)

“But, evolution is a theory. Darwinism is taught in schools, even to your Christian children. There will always be games, and books, and shows, and etc., about evolution.”

I canr really put a finger in what games that teach evulution? all i can se is games that have posibility to god then evulution (yes even sim series are affect of existen force to controle the player/town (you god).

“Heh…I can’t believe all the morons still posting in a serious manner, without realizing the entire site was an elaborate hoax.”

I mention it in the last blog that she must be one of the person from the SDF forum and trolling by itself.

BTW You are all God This God That. If you Say God created this or that, tell me something, if god did all that who was there to witness…let me guess no1, because god “created” man in the end, so in the end the Genesis is all Bullcrap!
The Earth doesnt have an Aged Look…. its like it has ever been…a Dynamic set of ecosystems, where Erosion, the visible face of Geologic Evolution, shapes our world.
We know this because we Studied life and the World, not because we Studied a set of books, written in the 4th Century AFTER CHRIST, to appease Angry Mobs and Ignorant Christians just like yourself. In the End The Bible was made to be correct for the Roman Empire’s Regime, and culture, conveniantly leaving out all the gospells non needed or unwanted for the regime. So, why on Earth, is the Bible worthy of Credit in the light of Science? The Bible has no Logical Explanation, cant Be ever explained in the light of inteligence, and racional thought.
The Bible was a book full of methaphors to teach a bunch of Stupid and Ignorant Peasants of the begining of the middle ages how to behave in society. Nothing more, nothing less. Ok there is a God, or multiple Gods, it doesnt matter, there is a Christ, or a Mohamed, or a Budha, or whatever you want. But that doesnt mean The Bible is THE TRUTH(angels singing)…NO!! it is not!!! the bible doesnt explain creation, because there was no Creation, there was evolution! And thats not less divine then Creation. It’s easier for me to believe in a God that masterminded Evolution and regulated it, than to believe in a god who created all in 7 days. Its just pathethic how people in the Twenty First Century Anno Domini, still believe in the Sumerian Myths, copied by the jews, later copied by the Romans to compile the so called Bible. A belief system almost 10 thousand years old… JUST ONE BIG LAUGH AT YOUR STUPIDITY!

You have said more then once that you pitty people who believe in the EVOLUTION.
Well its my turn…. I PITY YOU FOR YOUR ILL INFORMED SELF IMPOSED, SELF PERPETUATING MORONIC REDNECK IGNORANCE. Get a life, get an Education, Get your head outside of the bible, and go Get Laid you Soccer mom!!!

READ THE WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU POST, OTHERWISE YOU’RE GOING TO LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT. most notably the last paragraph, because if you do not and you end up just insulting the poster, they has succesfully RICK ROLLED YOU.

“It’s these teachings that I’ve spent my life learning, believing and becoming, that have made me the woman that I am today.

Tags: antispore, Bible, creationism, genesis, God, proof”

Just to tell you btw… You Wasted your life for nothing. Evolution is here, and no matter what you do, you wont ever make it go away. Basically you devoted your life to wasting time, worshiping Ignorance desguised as religion… Way to go!!
Also you assume yourself as a Christian person. Tell me then why you focus so much on the Old Testament? the Jewish part of the bible….. That would make you a Jew then, and you’d not have to quote the bible, but the Torah instead!!!
For Some Reason the Catholic church gives more importance to the new testament….the Word of Jesus, the son of God, and not so much to the hebraic part of the bible…. So my sentence to you, ill informed slut, is Get some information and stop quoting the bible, you use the internet, not a church to advertise this, The same internet riddled with PORN(oh god PORN LOL) satanist propaganda, Evolutionist proof, and all the other works of the Antichrist…LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL @ your pathetic arguments!!!

Strange, if I exchange God and Creator for Allah it sort of sounds like a load of Taliban-talk to me… Maybe we should shoot these God-Creator-people also, since we are shooting Taliban anyway… Just to make sure…

You’re actually not allowed to demand respect for your beliefs and attack the beliefs of others in the same breath. That’s immoral. You go to hell for that. Paul spelled that out pretty emphatically in Romans 2. How about you let God judge Spore and concentrate on being a good Christian?

I don’t have time to read everything that has been written here, but I get the general idea.
First a word about “Spore”. I don’t like the game. It just isn’t the kind of game I like to play. Just like “The Sims”.
Second, to the creator of this site. You are a perfect example of how organized religion can become such an ugly thing. If people would have listened to your beloved church, we would still be living in clay houses, riding horses to move around and think that the Earth was flat, we would burn people at the stick for speaking their mind. And you would not have the means to share your indignation with millions of people (come to think of it, that would have been a plus….).
… The only good thing in the christian teachings are the ten commandments. And I dare you (everybody) the say that you respect them all, all the time.

I used to have religious beliefs like you, but fortunately events in my life allowed me to see the error of my ways and embrace science as the path to truth. Perhaps I might change your opinions of Spore if you would only listen to a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down. And I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there.
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air.

Understand your beliefs, and understand other people beliefs. Thats part of the game of getting along.

You live on the U.S?. If so, you all know how to behave, because you are a multicultural country, with less than 400 years of history. Many beliefs colliding.

And by reference to the ten commandments… do you really believe them word by word?. There is no clue of them being what moses wanted to say. In those days, without writing transmision, there was word transmision. And now tell me what happens when you make a Photocopy, from a photocppy about 30 times or more.

Belief in what you wish, just dont force others to belief in what you belief. Thats just not nice.

Excellent joke! You fooled us all (including myself) and proved some points here, which I can admire. Kudos to you. You made a joke out of fundamentalism, which is good. The world could use a bit more humor.

However, next time please be careful what you joke about. In a way, this is like playing with fire. This could be considered the virtual equivalent of sending letters with baking powder in it. You know how that is going, especially after 9/11.

I don’t believe in God as such, still I wouldn’t be afraid my children would be brainwashed into creationism by ‘god’-games like Black&White.
Parents are the greatest influence on their children, and exposing them to different views only makes them better at having their own opinion.
So please, get your son this game, I promise he will still turn out just like you..

Yes, because 1-2000 years ago, when that story book was written, people was stupid and didn’t know shit about nothing. That grown ups 2008 can believe in fairy tales is Ok for me, there is lots of weird stuff in the world that some belive. But I hope it some day becomes a felony to try spread religious nonsense. The most scary thing tho, is that you religious people tend to mix your freaky “values” into politics, and that there are sooooo many of you in the most powerful nation today. Gives me the shivers that a person in the US can’t try to run for the precidency (hope that’s the right spelling, english is not my native language) without mixing in god, because if he/she did try that. No one would vote for him/her.

Im not sure which is better. The fact that so many goons just got rick rolled. Or the fact that so many goons are so stupid that they can read the lyrics to “never gonna give you up” as quoted under God, and totally not realize the joke. If you wanna be an atheist, thats fine, but dont be a moron. God didnt go around laying down lines from cheesy 80′s songs in the bible, religious or atheist, you should know that.

We are not the ones who are ignorant. You are forgetting that you are getting all your information from a text that is thousands of years old, being passed on and re-translated many times, eventually losing it’s original meaning and which could have been written by a bunch of nut jobs with the sole intention to control the masses. There is no way to tell.

Spore is a great game and I like it very much.
It’s a great idea to create your own creatures. That’s not against any god’s that doesn’t exist, the game is fun and it promote your fantasy!!
But I know that the christians like to go against such thinks, because they afrait to lose their power about their hypocritical fans!!!
I do not care when somebody believe in a god, but I hate that when he want impose other people for his believe. That’s intolerant!
Each has its!!!

alright, i get your a christian, and the reason your getting all this attention is because of all of the fucking trolling you are doing. 2 things i should point out to you, if you want to be a good parent, DONT ATTACK THE MAKER OF THE GAME, READ THE DAMNED GAME BOOK, seriously, there is a section on how to keep penis and tit creatures OUT OF YOUR CHILDS GAME, take 30 seconds to read that, and secondly you dont need to put your beliefes on other people, i get you were raised a christian as was i, however, i do not believe anymore. i’m agnostic, so people who were raised in the church dont always turn out to be strong christians. people like you are the reason that gaming is seen as such a bad thing, because of soccer moms like you. its bull shit that you cant be a parent, and that you HAVE TO BLAME THE MAKER. do some research before you start complaining.

Wheeeee!!!!!!!!! Brilliant site, absolutely brilliant. Best rickroll ever. But when you created the site, did you anticipate that there’d be so much bigotry directed at you by supposedly rational, pro-”science” types? Or did that come as a shock? Does the realization that so much of the pro-evolution momentum stems from ignorance (even extending to ignorance of the post ostensibly being commented on) give you pause for thought? Has the experience made you think of amending your worldview in any way, perhaps even aligning it, however slightly, with the persona that you have created here? Just wondering. The real irony, of course is that spore is totally ID in outlook. Intelligent Design can’t be taught in class in the US, but that doesn’t matter because you can now get it at home. and people will even pay for the privilege. And, as you’ve seen, even the evolutionists will promote it on a massive scale.

Yes we know there are examples of poes law over the internet and we know that without your addition to it so please dont waste our precious hate towards well deserving it evil christians who poison theyre childrens minds with bulshit fairytales and tell them theyre real. Religion is like cancer on humanity and its bout time we slap hte shit out of the morons who spread it or else were gonna get pushed back to the caves nd back on trees by those peaople in the name of theyre prejudges and dogmas.

You dont help, youre no funny and youre prooving what everyone already knows.
Were not suprised cause we always take in concideration that the fundamentalism you spread arroud here can be a parody. We have no choice but to reply to it in the name of reasonability. What if we wouldnt? Some nut who will actualy be a fundamentalist will find suport to his stupid beliefs on this page and seeing noone argues with it he will get even more certain that preaching this bullshit to peaople is the right thing to do. DO something usefull instead of discovering the colour of the grass for us.

There are no evidence that says that god exists, only the bibel. If someone is brainwashed its you. If you cant accept our beliefs, why whould we accept yours? Go fuck with satan or something please, ur scary, honestly.

The religious people rail on the people who believe in science. They go on about how misguided they all are.
The scientists don’t rag on the people who believe in religion, they just keep doing science.
Why is that?

Serious gratz. Shame only the people who can read got rickrolled, not the morons too, but what really gets me is how, even after shitloads of comments here talking openly about how great a joke it was, you still get WALLOFTEXT from angry people who just refuse to read.

Alright, apparently your mind is fucked up. First off; Have you even tried PLAYING the game? Apparently not, because if you did you would know that the turnout of the game is entirely based on the person who PLAYS it. Hence the rating, E for EVERYONE. If you still don’t understand what I’m saying, the just shut the hell up, and stop making stupid blogs about how you’re brainwashed.

How do you know that the interpretation of Genesis is correct? How do you know that god created wild animals according to their kind doesn’t mean that he created a lower version of that creature that has evolved into what it is today? How do you know that God isn’t the creator of evolution?

Science does not exist with out God. God created the people who discovered science and the possibility of evolution

I can’t tell which is more funny; the Rickroll clearly mocking religious objections to video games, or the people who obviously don’t know how to read. Seriously, guys, I hope you’re all in middle or high school, and could I have the names of your school districts? I’ve got a lot of letters to write about schools teaching their babies about reading comprehension.

Hey Admin, just because your parents thought you something doesn’t prove it is right. My parents thought me the same, but when I grew up I’ve started 2 see that there believe was bassed on nothing and that the teaching really where pathetic from a point of view.

Oh my gosh! He does belief in creationism! Burn him in the name of science at the stake!

I was raised catholic. Allthough I am no longer in a church, and don’t have any confession I still think that religon of any kind provided some good basic rules for civilization.
I really don’t recall that God said “You have to be intolerant to anybody who doesn’t believe in me”. If you really a person who is very religious you should be frackin scared about the shit you are talking about “science”.
But that is the basic problem of any religion anyway. You are so fundamented in your beliefs, that yours is the one and only truth. No wonder why there are so many wars on earth. Would you really live according to the bibel you would shut down this page.

Please stop posting this sort of stuff. It’s very funny and very entertaining, but I hardly get any work done these days.

“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
“So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science.”

So, because someone wrote this phrase down, it irrefutable proof that God exists and that he created the earth?

I got on my computer today and opened a news page.
What I saw on that page blew me away…
My jaw dropped and all I could do was stare for a second or 5.

“ANTI-SPORE SITE IS A HOAX”

It was in the NEWS dude !!!!!

This MUST be the best orchestrated prank of the decade man….
I’ve been driving my girlfriend crazy talking about how ridiculous this all was…
Man… You got me good. And from the looks of it,… you’re still fooling people..
Even Ralph here above my post.

Do you abhore Venus de Milo because it is a creation without arms, thus raping God’s ideal representation of a human?

No, you do not.

How abuot Picasso’s paintings, which twist about the form of everything ‘God given’?

This man has created a piece of art to be enjoyed by the public. That is all. He has made no claim that any of this is truth, and it is no different than any other game (OR MOVIE OR BOOK, THAT I AM SURE YOU ENJOY!) out there that includes aliens or monsters.

When you claim the masses blind and ignorant, think.. are you not part of the masses?

In Genesis 1:2 there is more talk about God’s work. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science. From this God moved to creating all the creatures, notice there is never talk of creatures ‘evolving’ into other creatures, instead God is able to make the creatures as he will including man.

You’re making that claim based upon something that already has its credibility in question. Just because it’s 2000 years old doesn’t mean it’s correct. Otherwise I could just say that in science, there is no mention of God, therefore it’s clear it must have been done by evolution. Which makes no sense either way, since you’re saying that “Since something which might mot be the truth says this, what it says definitely is the truth”.

Well played, well played. Over a thousand responses and you still have people going straight to “RAGE” before engaging their brain. You have invented a new perpetual stupidity machine. My personal favourites are the comments that start with “I don’t believe this site for a second, BUT …”

So this is how the world will end wingnut atheists and wingnut christians arguing over a game. Although this is the funniest blog I have seen in a long time and far be it for me to comment on other peoples beliefs. I remember a controversy over spore where atheists did not like the inclusion of magic and religion. Although I can’t remember where this other dumbass debate on this took place but please read the below. Spore is a great game but because of its ludicrous DRM I will not buy it, download it or have anything to do with it.

You’ve truly enlightened me over the last couple of days. But in this blog-entry the peaces finally came together… Something sinister… Something I’ve suspected since the 80’s. Rick Astley stole his song lyrics from the Bible!

You Christians always speak of “Gods word”. But “Gods word” is nothing else than a collection of short-stories called bible. These words suffer from false translation and the inability of people to be objektive storytellers. No eyewitness of history wrote down “Gods word” by himself. “Gods word” was written by people who said: “I´ve heard a story from a friend of my uncle`s son, who was in Jerusalem a couple of years ago, that there maybe was a son of someone who was called Joseph or something …. and his mother – you won´t believe it – has never had sex with Joseph!”

If there something like “Gods word”, you won´t find it in the bible. If there sometihng like “Gods word” you´ll find it burried deep inside yourself!

As stated above inmany other comments, your problem is with the people who play the game, not the developers. The views and ideas presented in a game cannot be tied to the individual beliefs of the developers, as stated in their user agreements (which, notably, no one that starts these kinds of sites reads). Out of said 8500 developers, did you ever stop to think about just how many of them might support creationism?

Also, the so-called “pornographic material” is user-created, and is not part of the game’s intentional design. I, too, am Christian, and even I realise it is impossible to stop every single person from trying to create something that goes against moral standards; temptation is all around. I’m very willing to doubt you even gave any of this much thought; you probably saw the game, read a couple sentences about what you could do in it, and let your emotions cloud your sight as to exactly what was going on.

Lastly, it may be wrong for people to debunk your faith, but it is just as wrong to force your faith on other people. God says spread the message, yes, but hateful and trite words and views is exactly what He is against. His word is a kind, loving word, and you should be fully and whole-heartedly ashamed for spreading His message in such a cold, hateful way. You seriously need to ask Him for forgiveness, and stop this nonsense before it’s too late. This is not the way to teach people about the wonderful message of God, and you have obviously had your emotions deeply cloud your spiritual judgement.

Assuming you actually read this, I hope you take a deep look at yourself and find the true light of God within you, as it has obviously been hidden within the darkness of your heart. Games are games, no more, no less, and to believe they are such is blasphemy in the highest degree.

The really funny thing is how the reactions of the majority of posters reflect how we deal with real life; no we don’t read the small print we just react to the headline and go and start a riot, regardless of how stupid that makes us.

Dudette, seriously, learn the difference between effect and affect. I learned that in elementary school.

Let me say in all fairness that you have a right to dislike video games. But don’t think those who play video games are people without morals whose ideas of life will be radically changed by the games they play. Christian’s will play Spore, non-Christians will play spore, but it will most likely not radically change they’re worldview. It’s a game. It’s a bunch of graphics on a screen. And the accusation of that vulgar creatures will make it into the games is false. Said persons’ accounts are deleted as well as the creation.

One must look at the good of spore. It spawns creativity. In a world where kids immediately go home and mindlessly watch television, something that both stimulates the imagination and is fun is rare. Chill, dude.

I love it when people mention in their replies that they didn’t even read it all. Although, I walked up to the Spore display at a Best Buy yesterday and say irrefutable proof of God’s existence… Spore is Mac compatible!

1st of all Maxis made the game
2nd of all 1st fuck off you n00b,the game isnt sugesting children to believe the world evolueted(thats the kids job to think and be educated).
3rd and what if the universe evolved and God didnt created us?is there something bad?the laws will still be there(but no more curch,big deal).

The sheer amount of stupidity in these comments is astounding, 90% of them didn’t even bother to read the post. Judging by most of the comments, it’s not really surprising, because it doesn’t seem like any of them have any real grasp over the human language in the first place. Successful troll is quite successful.

Other than that, the retards actually DEFENDING this game as a work of fucking art are just as bad if not worse. Spore was a fucking disappointment in every way.

You had us all going… The posts were perfectly crafted, each one became faintly more ridiculous than the last, but in a way that remained believable… I take my hat off to you, what else could I possibly do? I’ve never been rickrolled quite like this before!

OMG! I am still laughing. You my friend have proven without a shadow of a doubt that human beings, whether they be creationists or evolutionists, are 99% morons. The proof is in their posts since it’s obvious by the majority of comments that they didn’t bother to read your most recent post all the way through.

The only real god is Chuck Norris and he created the “Big Bang” By doing his Round House Kick enchanted with awesomeness. This was part of his Greater Plan which would only lead by evolution to action movies, in which he could play the role of hero. My bible is The Lord of The Rings in which Chuck Norris was in part of Frodo. It ended within 5 pages because Chuck Norris showed thou the Mighty Round Hosu Kick and stuck the TWO pieces of ring into Saurons eyes. Good byehz

You my friend, are the clear example of what terrorism is. There is absolutely no difference between you and a Yihadi, as both want their own beliefs to be absolute, and will not accept or listen to anything else; calling “evil” to a software creator just because he doesn’t believe in the same thing as you.
Osama will use bombs, you use the internet, at the end is the same intent: to justify your lack of education, culture and knowledge of the world (note I say world, that is not your small town and parrish).
Get back in your little hole, pray for yourself so you can get some culture and knowledge, but don’t try to involve the real people in your stupid beliefs. If you want to really help “god” go and help poverty in Africa – oh, I forgot – your “god” don’t believe in helping other than white american people…

The only real god is Chuck Norris and he created the “Big Bang” By doing his Round

House Kick enchanted with awesomeness. This was part of his Greater Plan which would only lead by evolution to action movies, in which he could play the role of hero. My bible is The Lord of The Rings in which Chuck Norris was in part of Frodo.

AHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
no really fuck you

ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Lol im writing outside of the boxes. lol to evryone who still believes this site is real

That was great! haha though though I must say its disturbingly funny to see all the people trashing the guy without reading the whole thing… most of them seem more ignorant and intolerant than the fake bible-thumping persona.

Looks like you made world news, great RickRoll ! Makes me wonder if a RickRoll is actually an official ‘always get of the hook’-option… Whatever you say on the net, just end with the lyrics and you’re safe. It’s never gonna let you down or desert you.

My suggestion is that your next blogpost could reveal your conversion to evolutionism and the renunciation of Christ, all due to the convincing, insightful comments made here. See if you can drop a reverse Poe on ‘em, and watch ‘em gloat and freak.

You sir/madam win. You win on such an epic level that I’m not sure sure any one could beat you at this point. It’s almost like you were a lemming that convinced a ton of other lemmings to jump off a cliff. But just at the last minute you stopped and shouted to everyone that you were just kidding (more like sang Rick Astley lyrics to convey that you were kidding).

Well they’re still jumping my friend. Well played. You certainly gave me my 10 minutes worth of laughs, and enough loss of faith in humanity to last a lifetime.

Listen man, Think of it this way. God, who gave us free will, wants us to chose him. For that decision to reflect solely on us it has to be based on faith. God is really smart and creative if you think about it; All the wonders of the universe and how they operate. Why would it simply appear. We can see that the rules of the universe, which God made, that nothing just appears or disappears for that matter. So why wouldn’t God use tools to shape this world/ universe., Like evolution. On a side note, not for intelligent design in science class rooms cause this is philosophy/theology not science. Anyway God knows us, as we were and as we are now(referring to undesired evolution beyond design, ie fall of man)*. He knows we are curious, he made us that way. My guess is he wants us to explore what he made and to figure out how. Im sure this world wasn’t made entirely for his own amusement. Like an artist I bet he takes pride in his work and wants us to discover the inner workings. I hope some of you read this and hear what it says but im sure most of you won’t read it or if you do just ignore it.

*another topic that i would love to talk about but would be a huge tangent. I would love to write about it tho if someone wants to hear it.

Thanks for the post. I really loved enjoying seeing people who make long ass serious replies who don’t even know how to read properly. I wonder if they’ve ever read “A Modest Proposal” in school, or even any of the Bel-Air copypasta online. The internet is such a wonderful invention to show how many gullible idiots there are in this world.

Doesn’t anyone know what a RICK ROLL is. This is probably one of the best I have seen in a while. I can’t believe people still actually think this is a real site. They must just read the headline and then look for a line they can manipulate into helping their argument. You would think the conservative Christian supporters would realize that Rick Astley lyrics are nowhere to be found in the Bilbe (though I am not really sure) and that the video game crowd would know what a RICK ROLL is and get a big laugh out of this article like I did. You are being RICK ROLLED people, calm down and have a laugh at a great joke.

This has got to be one of the best pranks ever! I salute you and your epic rickroll of biblical proportions.

I always knew. People didn’t catch on when you claimed credit for a dip in EA’s stock price or when you tried to channel Jack Thompson. But no, they kept coming- feeding your efforts to troll the interwebs.

And yet they’re still here, quibbling on despite being hand-fed Rick Astley’s masterpiece as if it were a biblical passage. You’ve gotten them so riled up that they won’t even read the rest of your post or other comments for that matter before they have to chime in.

Kudos to you, Ms. Antispore fake-fundie-evolution-hater-troll. You have left a legacy in the history of internet trolldom.

I can’t believe that this post alone has got over 1100 posts and well over half are taking it seriously!! LOL PURE GOLD!! I’m hoping they just haven’t read the whole post or they do actually believe lyrics do exist in the bible!

The amount of people i still see leaving serious comments astounds me. To all the people leaving serious comments, you’re idiots. Read the post fully. I’ll spell it out for anyone that was too stupid to get it.

It was all a joke. An insanely awesome and epic joke.

He Rick Rolled everyone (in biblical proportions). This site isn’t real and never was. It was a joke. No one would really care about a video game like this… and anyone who did is also an idiot. To quote the writer ‘don’t believe what you read on the internet’.

This is brilliant. From start to spectacular finish. Absolutely hilarious, the way a lot of people can’t tell a parody from ‘the real thing’, when talking about Religion. I say this because I just want to tell you how I’m feeling, try to make you understand.

Oh my awsome goodness. This is actually the very first time I’ve been Rick Roll’d! Congratulations to you!! What’s even funnier than your genius is the amount of internet troll-tards that are just biting into the bait without noticing the GIANT hook and fishing line running from it. There should definately be awards for this sort of thing.
Bravo!

[...] they were suspicious about the site, and said it may be a hoax. Turns out they were right! From the most recent entry yesterday, the author starts out with a long diatribe on her religious views: I think part of the problem [...]

I probably shouldn’t be amazed at these comments, but I am. It’s mind-blowing how many people read (at best) half of an editorial and immediately move to the comments link to attack the poster.

If anyone of you people up there above me in the list of comments on this claims to have read the whole thing, and you STILL posted comments about how closed-minded or judgmental the author is, you should probably worry more about your own mental state before you criticize others’. I say this because it’s true.

Oy, science does not create anything. It is not a being like god is, it is just a mechanism that we use to attempt to understand what goes on in nature. Also, in spore you choose exaclty what goes on, and how evolution progresses. Sounds alot like there is a god present here to me. Oh and because the bible says something does not mean its true, not everyone belives the bible is the truith. Friggin’ dumbasses. I havent read the comments, so I’m sure what I just said has already been posted, but I just thought I would tell you just incase.

MAn your a poster child for why fundamentalism is a blight upon society. you base your entire life on a book, that was half ripped off from another faith, (jewdaism) and the second half written by commitee of romans (fond percecutors of the original now definately dead christian faith) who realised that faith was an excellent money spinner.

I like how there are people who are just spouting shit and not realizing this site was a gag from day one. Hey cuM, your problem is you are assuming this website is real. it’s not Period. If you think people who are religious are gullible to believe such nonsense imagine how susceptible you are to religion when you can fall for such an obvious gag. DUH!!

LOL Lets hear it to all the people typed in battling this fake site proving how people only ever HALF read stuff on the internet anyway before jumping to conclusions. LOL TOOLS! ALL OF YOU.

If the zealots here haven’t read the last part of the article, what makes you think they’ve read our comments down here?

Oh America, you know there’s a course in your schools called READING COMPREHENSION.

Try it, seriously, it might help.

To those that “got it”, high fives and beers are in on me.

Finally, Admin, keep on trolling. I see this as an opportunity to see just how blind and ignorant humanity is when it comes to controversial issues such as this. I want to watch the world burn with ya for the epic lulz.

EA leading the viral marketing shit, more likely. Making fun of creatonists (I don’t believe that crap at all, I’m a scientist, not an idiot) isn’t a good way to do it though. Next time come up with something good enough without insulting others EA, this might be fun for some of us which have no problem with this, but still it isn’t nice to insult people like this.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! Ya got me! Great job, I was kinda suspicious when there was no censored comments or radical replies to comments, but I never saw the roll coming! I’m also surprised some of these people are still leaving hate on the site, I guess they didn’t read the whole post.

I was raised catholic and when I learned about the crusades and the inquisition in the history class I realised religion is a bunch of crap.

So there, I had the chance to be raised with religious beliefs and while the rest of my family still believes in a God and goes to church, I have opened my eyes to the truth and I KNOW that religion is a big, BIG lie made to control people and see how good it works.

Quote whatever the fuck you want from the bible, I will only ask you one question. How do you know? HOW DO YOU KNOW? I know how you think you know, you were brainwashed as a kid, you were told concepts you couldn’t understand because you were too young and imature, you were also told that Santa comes to your home and puts gifts under the christmas tree and you believed it, so how hard it really is to make a little kid believe that a almighty God made us as we are today? It’s really easy, especially when everybody even adults believe in that so the little kids are brainwashed into that. I don’t hate religious people, I pity them because their eyes are closed to the truth.

seems like you wasted a lot of time learning about the wrong things, that so called book of the lord (like many others of the same sort) is still a thing written by man. Written in a time when man already knew how to write for a long time and already walked this earth for a longer time.

Why do we not all start believing in the creation of the world like J.R.R. Tolkien described it in The Silmarillion ?
Or even better, why don’t we all start teaching our children to be free as they should be instead of always answering to a so called higher power by the name of ‘god’. So, lets ban religion from the earth altogether. It would be a better place anyway as the purpose of the bible in the days it was written was only to hold control over the lesser people.

(note: see how I do not wish to use capitol letters for the word god or lord and do use it for a wonderful mind like that of Mr. Tolkien)

Ok your statment is clear and so I suppose you are an specialist in the Bible. And as this you can answer me the great question. Why have god killed all the giants? Book genesis 6.4. And there is written that the giants was the heros from this time. And why he have let kill all the Midianiter, or better they was killed on his order. And why god have reduced the age from his sons (the childs from Adam) becouse they likes the human womans. And if the childs from Adam mixed with the humans (book genesis) than they must be created with the animals or not? If I read the Bible exact without interpreting, from my understand, there is no problem between the genesis and Darwin. Special becouse in the Bible Adam is an jewesh and not an human. In many parts they make the different. Or only I am confuse and you can explain it.

It is comical how so many are commending this nimrod for his actions. in a time when blog posts tend to have more credible news and sources than the actual news, this just shows that even bloggers can be as shameless as FOX and the Bush administration.

all he did was raise a few eyebrows, get some halfway decent viral buzz going and basically came out of the closet just as many knew he eventually would.

There is no monumental thing that has been done here. It’s just another in a long line of public crank phonecalls.

whatever.

tomorrow it will be all but forgotten, it won’t even make it on some top 100 list on some other blog.

I just love all the raging comments by people who didn’t even bother to read it entirely. And all the people still saying the exact same things even after several comments specifically talk about the hoax. Poe’s Law. Love it.

People of science claim that the Earth on such a grand scale that caused the aging that people remember. But we are taught and believe that our world is this way and has the aged look because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. So God created man in his own image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the night.

So here I am, passionate about my beliefs and wanting to support me, asking for interviews, or just sharing kind words and prayers. I even promise to pray for everyone regardless, but I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have created, from the face of the air, over the night. But there is more talk about how Christian they are unwilling to post here on the internet. I appreciate these greatly and understand why they are the beliefs that I was raised in.

So all of you, the reasonable ones or not, to look over things, breakfast for the ability to create content for his game. And never gonna give you up.

Well done. Fantastic read. I can’t wait to show some friends and watch them start to fume over how “fanatical” you are, only to get halfway through the second-last paragraph and see their faces change. In fact, I think I’ll keep my camera at the ready!!

mate, seriously…….are you really that blind? You still believe in Noah? the problem was never that we never had the opportunity to learn all the lovely christian beliefs, I did, and i chose to believe hat they were a pile of gobshite.
look, you are obviously brainwashed. Just because the bible says something happed because god said so, does NOT make that a good argument against PROVEN facts and univesally accepted theorys amongst people whose lives are dedicated to discovering the secrets of the universe themselves, and not just reading a very old and fictitious book and believing every word.

Also, I jsut wanna know, why did it ake god 6 days to create the world, and why did he need a rest at the end? isn’t he all powerful and omnipotent?

mate, seriously, read a science book and then go back to your bible and see which is a more convinving read. Religion has done nothing but hinder society and if people like you continue to exist, then…jesus christ man, your country is in trouble

With all due respect, I have to express my concerns with your creation of this site. Spore is a videogame of the type commonly referred to as a “god game” that allows the player to basically take the viewpoint of God.
As a Christian, and believer in 6 day creation, I have no problems with Spore. Sure, it struck me as an off comment when I heard the commercial about creavolutionism. I’m not that easily offended however, and I don’t see Wil Wright as someone who is trying to subvert our beliefs and deceive our children. It is up to parents to teach their kids what they believe, and what is true and not. It is also up to the parents to teach their kids how to deal with things that irritate them, and creating a website that blows things so greatly out of proportion, IMO, is not it. It really makes me concerned, and reminds me of a particularly unfortunate time when my mom got scared. And said, “You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.”I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, “Nah, forget it. Yo home’ to Bel-Air!” I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabby yo holmes smell ya later. Looked at my kingdom I was finally there. To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

Wow, 1200+ comments later and people still haven’t gotten that they’ve been Rickrolled. @Michael, Comment #1205, it’s a JOKE DUDE, get a fucking funny bone, or at LEAST READ the article before ya start bad mouthing it, you only look the fool.

They are just STORIES! God didn’t write it. People wrote it. If I went around saying God told me a story and I wrote it down, they would throw me in a loony bin. But 4000 years ago they wouldn’t. Just because some crazy F’r wrote some crazy story he made up in a book, you believe it? Then, based on your arguments against Darwin’s evolution, which “crazy” story are we to believe? That we evolved over millions of years on this planet or that some “being” snapped his fingers and said, “let there be light, a planet, oxygen, carbon, ants, roaches, monkees, deer and …..and……people!”

I am both a Christian and a pastor, and I appreciate the authors commitment to God, but this is not the best way to go about it! As well, I think we need to recognize that spore as a game falls more in line with a theistic evolutionary worldview then anything else, which is a perfectly legitimate Christian belief. Lets not forget that Genesis was written to a group of Israelite’s who had just been liberated and needed to know about God, and that the way the author of Genesis explained it to them was by teaching them theology through poetry (and the creation account IS poetic in nature).

Genesis is not a text book, and it was never meant to be, it exists to teach us THAT God created the world, it isn’t nearly as concerned with HOW. Cheers.

You are one sick person to make a site just to rick roll a bunch of people. Good job. The funniest part is that there are still so many people who didn’t realize that the joke was revealed at the end because they never finished the post!

Wow, you could probably keep this going for a few more weeks before the majority of the people would begin to realize that they have been had…

As to you Admin, well played my friend, well played. I was midway through the Rolling before I realized what I was reading, bravo. Expect your won internets to arrive via express mail in 3-5 business days.

Eh, don’t worry about this guy… Spore’s pretty much the next Harry Potter for those Christians that go overboard about how religion is against evolution and magic… Eventually, they’ll just fall quiet about it like they’ve done with Harry Potter… Of course, not to be offensive to those who are Christians… The only people I was applying my comment to was the very few who take their religion too far as to denounce other beliefs including other religions and the theory of evolution… (Basically one of those Christians who pretty much go out on the streets making enemies by saying “If you aren’t Christian, you’re going to Hell and I will think of you as scum”…)

This is amazing. The poster doesn’t even believe what they said in this blog, and the zealotry of the fools who don’t get it makes it look like a valid point.

The internet is such a strange animal. People complain that Christians force their ideas on everyone… look at more than half of these comments. These people make the Crusades look like a tea party, with how forcefully and blindly they oppose Christianity. Makes you wonder what horrible personal trauma made them so fervent.

The question is, was this site a parody of people who twist so-called Christian idealogies, or a meta-parody of anti-Christian bigotry?

So this is a story all about how,
some fags got rickrolled by me now,
so I’d like for you to just sit right there,
and I’ll tell you how I became prince of a town called troll-air.

Iiin North America born and raised, on the PC is where I spent most of my days.
Chillin’ out, relaxin’, trollin’ all day, writin’ some bullshit thinking I was cool,
When a couple of guys who were makin’ a game, started making such a good trolling tool.
I got one good idea and my visitors all raged, they said
“You fag got us all good there, truly fair and square.”

Hahaha, people trying to prove the existence of gods and fairies crack me up. “It says in a 3000 year old book that some god used magic to crate the universe, simple scientific observation is obviously wrong!”

hahah, great site man! You really had me going, The sad part is, I thought you were for real, which means there probobly are people out there that feel this way. And I love that almost noone is reading your posts through to the end, most of them don’t seem to get it…

Spore sucks, as well as your ideas. If you think that God actually creates Earth with his own tiny hands, you’re just a big jerk. And if you think that people who doesn’t believe you actually believe that SCIENCE creates Earth, that means you’re maybe the biggest jerk in the world ! Seriously dude, just face the facts. Christianity, like other religions had been invented by men. That’s all. At the time of Jesus, it was crucial for the humanity to have a first set of rules, it was the first kind of social regulation.

Oh and just one other thing – to test your faith. Do you think that Jesus was a white guy like he’s represented in all churches in the world ? If you think that the answer is yes, then continue to believe what people tells you to believe. And stop adding more crap to the internet.

Why don’t you just buy the goddamn game and see it for yourself rather than listening other people trying to explain it to you? You should watch a document called Zeitgeist, it proves that you’re a moron.

[blockquote]I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in.[/blockquote]

I think this statement pretty much sums it up. This is not a position you came to through your own study and analysis, it is a position you were programmed with from birth and haven’t critically examined in an honest way. Like you, I was raise with those beliefs, but I decided from a young age that I wanted my beliefs to be informed by fact and truth. If you were to study real geology and biology, you would see how badly informed your views are and how [i]nothing[/i] about the geologic record indicated a single massive flooding event.

The Bible is fairy tale, plain and simple, and its sad to see how many people continue to live their lives by bronze age stories.

I’m not bashing on religion or anything, I’m a catholic myself, but come on now. Nothing wrong with this game. I strongly believe in evolution, if a religious connection is made, I just think of it as God setting up these animals, INCLUDING humans to be able to evolve and adapt to the environment. There are way too many discrepancies in the bible for it to be taken as literal word. It was written by humans, no God physically wrote this book, that’s a fact, proven in the bible itself. And humans tend to stretch the truth. Think about it, satyrs and giants? Well where are they? Bible says they exist, yet they aren’t here. And what of Jesus’ return? It was prophesied that that would happen within the lifetime of (ref?) Peter. He was told not to bother marrying because the devil would be destroyed. Thousands of years later? Nothing. Hasn’t happened yet. And final point, your own books tell you that gays should be killed, children who swear at their parents should be killed, and that pregnant women are hated by God, and should be considered filthy. Obviously that’s complete rubbish, and almost no one follows that. Why? Cause it’s insane. Religion is pick and choose, people choose the parts they like and quote as truth, much as you are, yet hide the rest that is not agreeable, like the pregnant women being filthy.(Deuteronomy)

Lets say that there is a God …. and that He created a universe this size and complexity … do you really think He gives a shit about you or what your stupid child plays ? The answer is , of course , no . But again , hypothetically , lets say that there is a caring and paternal God…. If I were Him I would be very sad about the fact that I gave you a wonderful brain to learn , but you just sits there as a worthless prick bitching about how science is bad for mankind and everyone should be back to the Dark ages….

It’s just a Children’s game, like the Children’s Card Game that I play. There’s no reason to get huffy over SPORE. Now, if you don’t mind, I have to go save the world by playing a children’s card game.

I want to say “read the whole thing before you open your dumbassed mouth” to all the other commenters, but it’d be a waste; noone would read it. It’s obviously apparently they didn’t bother to read the whole thing before they commented

Did it occur to you that the bible could be wrong? What gives it automatic authority over everything else? There is no proof of these ‘historical’ events other than the ‘word of God’, whereas there is logical proof of theories science and the WORLD accepts as fact today. Simple things. They just make more sense. You just have to be taught them in school… I don’t mean to insult other Christians who believe in a more transcendant and maybe contemporary God, but this crazy-ass, huge, bearded white man in the sky who creates things with a snapof his fingers…. That seems far less possible than mutation and evolution in genetics. It just makes sense. I envy your simple mind, using “God did it” as an excuse for answering all questions, grievances and good fortunes, but it’s kinda retarded.

Haha, it is really really funny how stupid ppl are. If God created them in his own image then he has a problem Even after quit a few remarks about the hoax ppl still go crazy because thier belevies are under fire by a 80`s singer hahaha
Thx a lot made me laugh again today

A wonderful call-out of people’s inner debates on religion and evolution. An amazing rickroll against creationists, secularists and the gamer faction. I salute you, sir/madam!! Please people… believe what ever you want, but when it comes down to it, I think there is a reason that Humans are the only ones who can laugh. Great job!!!!

Yes, a book of fairy stores, which historians have proven to be somewhat inaccurate, that was written by the infallible… oh wait, I’m sorry, it was written by men and I’m pretty sure we’re NOT perfect– this is the be all end all argument against science. Riiiight.

Before Christianity came about, the predominant belief was in the Sun God RA.

My god. This is the most brilliant troll I’ve ever seen. You came RIGHT OUT and said you were a troll, and people STILL DON’T GET IT. Poe’s Law in action, and proof that people don’t read everything – just enough to see what they want to see.

My hat is off to you, sir or madam. You have achieved internets greatness.

1. You’re a really regious guy.
: I can understand that but you don’t realise that you’re actually advertising and making the game even more popular and that belief is a free choice. We believe or not. Or let’s say I’m just talking about me: And so I simply know that i’m going to hell or that i’m not getting a bunch of virgins or whatever but still I choose not to believe. (Now believe me there are many – and I really mean MANY – guys out there that have the same opinion).

2. You’re an employee of the producers
: Than you’re just advertising through a slightly old method. Just like iphone had actors standing in line at certain shops waiting to buy it. (and many others did before)

3. You’re just some crazy guy who needs some attention.

I really appreciate you’re religion thing but i think there are many other things that should really mean something to you.

A computer game can’t hurt you but a problem in the process of the Big Bang simulation would definitly make you think about something….

You just RickRolled the internet.
Like…the whole damn internet.
All of it.

I heartily second all of the following:

10% of the posters talking about how America is a bunch of rubes because of this. Does it mean non-Americans can’t read or does it just mean that stupidity is the world’s largest ethnicity that knows no national borders? I’m guessing it’s the latter, though it wouldn’t be a surprise if a massive portion of the European population is a bunch of fucktards.

Seriously, this is perfect proof that Atheists are just a bunch of intolerant fundamentalists, pretty much the same as those they go out of their way to insult.

Agnosticism for the win, bitches. At least we’re man enough to admit that not a damned one of us knows one way or the other.

My goodness, this is quite possibly the most elaborate and clever Rick Roll I’ve seen since the XKCD comic on Rick Rolling!

I usually read this things, and don’t comment, but applause!

Not only did you manage to Rick Roll EVERYONE who read this, but you’ve simultaneously trolled and exposed the people who don’t even bother to read the whole posts before commenting!

I found the comments where people apparently SAW the lyrics to “Never Gonna Give You Up”, but didn’t make the connection with internet trolling! Have those people even BEEN to the internet in the last several years?

The author of this website is a pure genius. You have singlehandedly (I presume) managed to trick countless thousands of people. Definitely one of the best poe’s and rickrolls I have seen in a long time. Almost a shame you can’t continue the site now (at least not with the same level of response).

Just a few links to games created around the bible ‘theory’. Why do you allow these to go under your radar of whats acceptable and what isn’t. Things that send messages of how the world was created/evolved (pick the word you want) are bad, right? We should teach our kids our beliefs, (or forbid) let them choose, right?

No, only things that teach things that -YOU- dont believe in are wrong. If this doesn’t sound incredibly dumb, incredibly (and blindly) hypocritical, then I dont know what to tell you. In your logic (without the dose of hypocrisy), every game that teaches any sort of religious or non religious representation of how the world was made should be illegal.

That sounds incredibly boring. Spore actually looks fun, and may be the first game ive bought in quite awhile. The best part, is that I can not only play it, and enjoy it, but I can do it without believing in evolution (as if its a bad thing?). IT IS A GAME.

Religious fanatics like yourself, who have to be heard, who have to have things done their way, will be the end of this world. The biggest irony ever will be the people like you, who are so hardcore about who believes in how the world was made, will eventually be the cause of how it ends.

No one is going to change your mind and you are going to change no one else’s mind. All you’re doing is uniting people sharing your view and providing entertainment for those who don’t. Note by you and any variant of it I am referring to the admin.

I love these sites, don’t you? To think that somone has all this free time to make a hoax website and all.
*shouting in background* It’s not a hoax site. You have spend your time making a website about a game and how it is anti-Christian. WOW- you have far too much time…get a job, help the poor, feed the hungary, help those who can’t help themselves in Africa. Sorry, i forgot, you cant because you are making this website. GET A FUCKING LIFE, DO SOMETHING GOOD WITH IT AND NOT TRYING TO GET A GAME BANNED. YOU FUCKING SHIT FACED RELIGIOUS NUTTER.

Proverbs – Chapter 14:1
The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.

First Timothy – Chapter 3:11
In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.

Proverbs – Chapter 19:13
A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
Proverbs 10:18
He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads
slander is a fool.

Timothy 3:11
In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect,
not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.
Timothy 5:13
Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from
house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and
busybodies, saying things they ought not to.

Titus 3:2
They are not to insult anyone or be argumentative. Instead, they are to be gentle and perfectly courteous to everyone.

Thats it for now.. I have more for you if you want. Does your husband know your slandering people? I think he needs to put you in your place. You did say your a woman right?

I always thought the Church, and especially Christianity, were openminded Organisations which respect the opinions of other people.

You are exactly the kind of Christian who is a FUNDAMENTALIST. You do not respect the opinions of others, and you do not respect science. This shows how HYPOCRITICAL you are.

Your actions do not match your “beliefs” (or what you SHOULD believe in: RESPECT).

-Darwinist

PS: I LOVE playing God. So should you. Try it out.

Oh… and science did not create the universe, as you say. It was the universe that created science. And God was just a substitute for science in the old days, because people did not know science back then.

Ok this is just stupid as hell. Why are there so many groups out there so determined on bringing down things, even if it’s just another video game. Will Wright is a genius, not a God. I agree with that. But there are other games that let players play as god as well. Why don’t you attack those? Why don’t you go ahead and take out first person shooters while you’re at it? People play God in those… Players can end anyone or anythings life with a bullet in a FPS. I proudly say that I play Spore, GTA, Black and White, Call of Duty…. The list goes on. I love all of Will Wrights games. I think you’re cause is pointless, and it’s not going to change a damn thing. This game is not harming anybody, it is simply allowing people to play a roll that they’ve played in other games, whether it be God, a monster… what ever. Anyway, EPIC FAIL.

“21. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never gonna give you up. 22. “Never gonna let you down.” 23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.” 24. “Never gonna make you cry.” 25. “Never gonna say goodbye.” 26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.” 27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”

Wow, when I read some of the first few post, I was amazed. Amazed at how dumb people. Do they really think that Rick Astley spoke the words in the bible? JK, but seriously, can they not read or think for themselves? I bow towards the CREATOR of this site, who undoubtedly is playing spore himself, he just wanted to get a rise out of people, and he did. The stupid people of our world amaze me, and sadden me at the same time. I don’t blame them for not noticing a Rick Roll, but its pathetic that they couldn’t see this site as a joke.

Don’t have the time to count them all, but how many comments out of the 1500 here actually read this whole post before commenting? Less than 10%? 5%?

Doesn’t bode too well for humanity – everyone’s quick to give their opinion and judge, but no one wants to take the time to actually read or discover the facts. I can see why politicians are so successful in brainwashing the masses into believing their lies – no one bothers to read the facts before they spout out some uninformed opinion.

In fact, I don’t know why I should bother to write this – no one’s gonna read it.

To the author of this blog: Kudos. I think you RickRolled half of the atheists, agnostics, and anti-religious nuts on the Internet. One of the bests, seriously.

Seriously you shouldnt comment things you haven’t read or don’t understand.
You have been rickrolled. That means the dude played with your emotions, made you bitchy, and now you look like an ass. Get over it. No need to attack god for your insecurities. Im not talkin to the dude who wrote this, im talkin to you fucktards who are angry and dont FUCKING get it

Hey he’s a genius, how can you not believe in it. It is required learning in the UK and europe, here in the UK it is FACT, we find people like you to not actually have a clue, have you ever opened your eyes to the amazing universe we live in, we are all made of STARDUST, we are all made of the same things, people like you are just blind!!!!!
You cannot believe the truth because you are scared, understand that atheism is growing, science is growing and the truth is out. Your god is no more real than Zeus or Thor. They are probably more real, christianity is a bad offshoot of Judaism, they actually have a totally different world view from you. Did you know they don’t believe in hell, or satan, or CREATION, yes thats right they believe in evolution, at least some religions have a clue.

man just retyping shit from the bible doesn’t make you right! If you actually used that pigshit brain you have in your head for a second you’d realize evolution and creationalism are just two different versions of the same idea, rather one part of our society wants to believe magic men in the sky made all of us gradually and guided us to what we are, and the other wants to think little cells in our body converged and social networked up and turned into the god hating bastards here now. Problem is, this whole thing only bothers like one part really, the creationalism camp. Yeah we accept you’re fucking apeshit nuts about the bible and creationism.

No sir i dont care much for your bible or your theory but sadly most people like me still tollerate your kind so you should return us the same favor.

This site is genius! I was so upset by what someone was saying because I felt it was ignorant…then I got Rick Rolled so hard, I was humbled. The only thing that kept me from going over the edge while reading this reading this was hoping that no one could be this ignorant and it HAD to be a joke, and my pride and self respect thank the GOOD LORD ALMIGHTY that I restrained myself long enough to get intellectually PWNED harder than I could imagine.

Good work! You (Sir, Madam, group of folks who put it togther for a class project of some sort) have embarrassed so many people with just a few key strokes a day. Bravo Bravo

Please sir. Please be peaceful. I spoke to Will (nice guy very creative.) In his sleep. I told him about this game he cold do. He loved it. Know really you are making Cristians look stupid. I know what you sai in the bath room.
“I wish all those people who like spore will die slow and painfully and burn in hell.”
Really think Ill et you come up here with you saying it.
But this site is funny. I will try to help you.
And why do you hate non-chirstian beliefs so muxh why are your afs. Jewish Muslim and BUY SPORE STUFF.
You woman are a very very bad Chirstian. I will try yo help you.

That is truly some epic pwnage. There should be some kind of Internet Law along the lines of “The chance of a bait-filled post being a hoax in inversely proportional to how much of it you actually read before commenting.”

so wait, your reasoning is because it says so in genesis that it’s true? from the same book that has been misinturpreted by man and tainted by the words of sexist pigs? On top of the fact that there is physical scientific evidence to support the theories of evolution? if you can’t accept science then I feel sorry for you, for science has saved the lives on countless people. but you can’t escape it, its all around us, you are living science, the computer you created this blog on, was developed using science, so don’t try to feed everyone this bull about the word of god being better than science because since the bible was written, 500 yrs after the birth of jesus christ, it is no longer the word of god. the world worries about islamic extremism but i think you should take a look in the mirror because you are starting on the path of christian extremeism. just accept the universe for what it is, and don’t blame your fears of science onto a perfectly reasonable game that is built upon logic. i believe in god but what sounds more realistic: A logical explantion for the universe that has been studied, researched and is now known fact, or that an invisible being of infinite power clicked his/her fingers and instantly everything appears. you should try combining religion and science (not scientology though) and be happy with both, accept god programed the universe with science and that the universe is bigger that this tiny little planet, fact, delete this website and hang your head in shame, because you have gone way too far with this.

So just because a book, written by man, says God did something you believe it, and, just because a book says so, you believe theres a “entity” in “heaven” essentially being the sky, who is Omipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. Do you realize the flaw in writing that those powers present? Do you realize how many flaws are in the bible? Omniscience is untenable because of issues with free will, ie how can an all knowing God have given us free will? It doesnt make sence because thousands of years ago people had no science, and didnt know how to explain things they didnt understand, you and every Religious person, no matter there religion, are all keeping the genepool for humans at a low IQ and I hope that Atheism and Intelligence above all, prevail, and that religous beliefs are purged from the earth, because they will be reckognized as the number one source for problems, wars, and stupidity, good day.

Wow. I was hoping it would start as 99% tldr flamers then gradually decrease as people said “OH WAIT LOL.” But… good fucking god, almost 1600 posts later and almost nobody gets it. I’m ashamed to be human, and even more ashamed to be an atheist.

This is the most genius site ever. Well, maybe not ever, but I LOL’d when I saw the rickroll.. very clever! Just sad that so many people got their panties up in a bunch, but I guess it’s just coincidence that has this be a prank site and not a real one from people believing in that stuff. Oh well, comments are TL;DR by now, so I’ll stop. GG!

This just goes to show how people never read a giant post even if it ends in a satisfying rick roll. People just tend to read the title and scroll past the 1600 responses and post stuff like
“Youre a fucking Idiot!
idiot!
idiot!
idiot!
idiot!
idiot!
Shut up and Die!”

It’s a hoax. Please stop yelling at this lady, you just sound ignorant. Everyone who commented by saying that Christianity is forcing people to prostelytize, etc., clearly read maybe a paragraph and then just decided to go off. We’ve all been rick-rolled, this site is a joke, everybody calm down.

C’mon. Time to realise this is just for the f# of it?
The person behind this site is making more money than you can collect dancing naked in a whore street. Not a bad idea actually… Make a provocative site… then PLACE ADS!! – omgomg free recepie heaven for mi!

While personally I think Spore is a crap game for game play, the theory, mechanics and evolution in the game is no poison to the free thinking people of the world as much as this blog that promotes censorship, ignorant, over protective, single minded biases no matter the evidence.

What parents such as your self don’t realize, is the amount of damage you do to your children by shielding them and drilling these 1800s teachings into them, for them to then have issues later in life when facing the REAL WORLD.

LOL. Wow, some of you motherfuckers are THICK! Its a joke site! Get with the program. You may want to read the actual words in the blog before jumping to some asinine conclusions founded on your misplaced and unwarranted faith in your own “intelligence”. In layman’s terms, that basically means “You’re not as smart as you think you are.”

This is a joke! You all just read the first paragraph, then skip to the bottom and make comments like “you fucking retarded! wy u so retarded?” Just take the time to read the whole thing instead of being so hostile! All the people making these comments royally piss me off!

Wow you really got me. And it’s funny reading the comments since in the beginning about 5% seem to have got it and the rest just posted without reading it (even saw a guy who quoted the text but still didn’t seem to notice the lyrics). The further you go down the bigger the percentage that seem to have noticed the message but still you got some that just posted without reading.

But I think the most important question is what do you really think of Spore? Since this has been a hoax I’d like to know if you did it as a fan or a troll?
Also I’d like to put out the ” OMG you’re a girl! Date me!!!!” response as I am obligated to do by the gamer code, article B, subsection 2.

DAAAAMN!!!! another moronic Jesus freak. For starters you are quoting the Old Testament which is the book of the Jews, so what makes you think that you are interpreting it right? Do you know why the Old Testament was made?

If you want more questions to which your answers would be more than completely erroneous e-mail me, Im always happy to put a Jesus freak in his place. Bye and may Allah bless you. LMFAO

What exactly is wrong with a game that uses the theory of evolution as its basis for gameplay?

Are you seriously trying to tell me that you refuse to allow your children to be exposed to theories that do not agree with your own.

The game is an excellent piece of entertainment that does a good job of introducing the theory of evolution to children.

There are also plenty of games that use the hand of god approach to their game play and all the little people worship you (Black & White) – Did the people who do not believe in god set up a website and protest about this game. NO of course not because it is just a game and they understood that. It was not out to brainwash people, it was just a game.

Open your mind. You cannot go through life trashing all those that do not think the way you do.

I love you. Seriously. You have just successfully made over 1000 people look like fucking idiots because they didn’t read the entire fucking post. I practically read about half the comments, then scrolled down here and…GOOD FREAKING GOD, PEOPLE ARE STILL ARE ARGUING ABOUT THIS?!?

Seriously, read people. It’s good for your brain. And it prevents you from looking like a fucking dumbass who acts like an asshole.

NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN

Moral of the story: Too long, didn’t read IS FOR PUSSIES WHO ARE LAZY.

If you would like to discuss with me about God, the Bible and this game, Spore, please send me email regarding my request.
If this is in fact a publicity stunt, I applaud the obvious successful attempt.

this is a masterful troll. i fucking bow to you.
i came fucking RAGING all the way down to the comment box, then i saw a few comments and BAM, i realized how hard i got trolled.
absofuckinglutely MASTERFUL, i tell you that.

This has to be one of the funniest things i’ve ever read on the internet ever. I wish i’d come up with something like this. If i were EA i’d pay you 100$ for every comment you got from people who didn’t get it! HAHAHAHAHA

The wonderful irony of all the people insulting your inteligence and getting on their high horses when they haven’t even read the entire post. Win Troll is Win. A bel-air would have been more appropriate but I would still like to award you several internets.

May I remind you that religion is a system of belief. The belief that you deem truthful to other that share your values. These values are what you believe in, what you grew up with. Other people have not shared this same experience. It has been said that people are born to choose. Why not choose to believe religion? Or perhaps fact. The truth is is that all people are born free of discrimination, conformity, pressure, religion and obedience. It is only until that a being can choose for themselves that it is too late. It is when that a being is born unique in his or her own image that they see what remains truth from belief. This truth can form and create new passages for intelligence, or it can close and devour what paths had begun from the start. You have been able to experience new paths toward new light. Others have also seen this light, but only on a different path. You choose faith in man, others choose logic. But what remains logical is that people have a right to believe in what they choose, not what is chosen for them. I say to every one out there, place your holdings upon what you say is logic, and grasp the truth of life. The truth that every one is created equal, and developed differently. If no one believes the truth then what can we believe? Religion? Peace? Freedom? Truth is anything that people wish to be, as long as logic dictates these disputes and arguments and condemns them to an accord that creates and grows.

Thank you for reading this statement on truth It has opened my eyes to the belief of logic.

You know, it really makes me laugh that the majority of these dumbasses haven’t realized that they were rick rolled. In any case. Kudos to you. That was fucking genius. Well played, well played. lol. Seriously though, awesome job. XD

i can’t decide what’s funnier. this entire site? that post? or that people aren’t figuring out the joke?
*puts on serious face*
that and people are still willing to debate whether Spore preaches creationism or evolutionism. are we going to end up debating which one spore is promoting more than which is actually the case? if so, go on. SPOILER: Will Wright actually is an Atheist who said he favored evolutionism, so if the game is actually promoting either one, its that, though, the man seems more concerned about making a fun game than getting that out there.
also, what /b/ said.

f*ck you! this website should win an award for being awesome, i posted a long time ago towards teh beginning of this, and i’ll give it to you, you got me… i thought you were a freak, but you know it wouldn’t be that surprising if someone was really doing this… there are somre freaking crazy mo’fo’s out there

This made my day. I had a “wow it’s been hacked moment” then saw the reference to Poe and went.. well, that is the best, most awesome game hoax I’ve seen. Good job on this. Even your ads are religious!! You deserve an award for putting up with huge amounts of flaming, even when you show it’s not for real!

My friend, YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE PEOPLE DO WHAT YOU WANT…. And now I think, thanks to you! its that God made us FREE TO DO WHATEVER WE WANT, just following some rules, ok, I agree. But in those rules there isn’t someone trying to make a lot of people change to their believe or whatever they want.

God Made us FREE TO DO WHATEVER, period. Nor even Him, (I’m following his words) can’t make someone do what He(God) want. Ok, he can’t by forcing him, normal ways like you trying to do; if God want someone to do something, He would talk to that person, letting him choice.

PD: That’s going to Good&Real way. If we go using our imagination: He could easily force us, using GOD-ONLY powers and we will have to do it, but I know He wont do that =D. And, I want you to know that and that YOU CAN’T make people do whatever you want.

As I said you free to manifastated your angry against this, but don’t overreact. THIS IS JUST A GAME. Also, you are attacking some people and THAT MY FRIEND, IT’s AGAINST GOD RULES, I think you already know that:

Oh 1 comment: You are wasting a lot of time, trying to change the World’s think about a game. While you can take that time, use it with God and save the PLANET from us, Cause WE (ALL) are destroying it, we should ally no matter religion or race, and SAVE THE PLANET OUR HOME!!! not fight against a game that only you think its against God.

I want to hear the Pope say “Spore, a game its DEVIL!, it’s against God”

[...] at 10:45 pm (Uncategorized) First it was Geraldo Rivera getting washed out to sea, then it was this post and the 1600+ comments from stupid people who don’t understand they’re the victims of a [...]

Seriously? Shut the hell up. Just because you were taught something doesn’t mean it’s real. I was taught that if Santa Claus and unicorns are real. That doesn’t mean they actually are and I have the right to push my beliefs on other people.

Belief does not equal proof of existence

Also, the bible doesn’t prove anything. For the bible to prove anything, you would have to assume that god is real. You can’t prove something with a book that requires the existence of what you’re trying to prove.

it says god made not how. let me ask you something if you were a nomadic people wandering the desert with no understanding of science what so ever hundreds of years before evolution was even thought about, and God starts telling you that he made you by taking a monkey and pulling off its hair, they wont get that. They wont understand the method and they wont understand the time frame so what does god do, he said I Made and left it at that. O and noah’s flood is NEVER been logically presented as a way to make the earth look old. the UNIVERSE looks old, we just recently saw a gamma ray burst over 7 billion light years away, meaning it took 7 billion years for the light to get here, meaning not 7 days FACT FACT FACT so learn to interpret the bible differently, we are getting smarter now so we need to stop taking everything our ancestors tell us as fact. Yes God created, yes Jesus died and was raised to save our sins and yes we are saved. But the rest is all a collection of human knowledge and stories which always have some errors even god inspired ones cause they are only inspired and the writers always take a creative license.

You sir, are a comedian of epic proportions. Not only do you lead on the populace with your test of Poe’s law but you are proved right time and again by the comments section. Maybe you should put it in bold text so that some of the internet’s less than witty inhabitants may understand it, then again I suppose that would rob you of the second and equally hilarious joke. Thanks for the laugh and the addition to my ever growing lack of faith in humanity.

Forgive me for what I am about to say.
Attention ALL peoples who would consider themselves Christian. STOP POSING!
Where do ANY OF US get the power to decide what GOD says is evil? What gives YOU that power? NOTHING. I am tired of seeing Christians forcing their backwards ass beliefs on EVERYONE, and calling everything else EVIL. GOD gave us free will, he gave it so that we could CHOOSE things for ourselves, not choose for HIM. We are but simple being living out our lives, the way he intended. We should not declare something evil because we disagree with it.

Yes the game is about evolution, BUT the bible says god created the earth, the air, life, everything, existence entirely, in 7 days. It says he crafted us from his image. THINK OF THIS if your black and white good and evil minds can grasp this concept….how in Gods name could ANY mortal being know how long it took, and HOW God made the world? we DON’T, your talking about something that is physically impossible, a story written by priests just to give a more dramatic effect and easy explanation as to how we were created, nothing more. And furthermore, in God’s eyes, 7 days to him could stretch over thousands life spans of a human being simply because He is an all powerful being who lives on and exists with no need to hurry, he can take his time. He has all the time in existence. Furthermore, Just like over 50% of the material written in the bible, it was ALL written down AFTER the fact by 2nd hand story telling. For as far as we know God DID create us through evolution. Its a proven scientific fact that evolution takes place,
and on the topic of evolution, Picture this…Climate changes, species die out, or “evolve” to change..would a Loving and kind gentle God who gave life to creatures REALLY see fit to give them NO WAY to adapt to their new environment and just suffer and die out? If that is what you would believe then our Gods are not the same.

I also find it very mature of a web site to blame a game for what PLAYERS ARE DOING. I could draw a penis on the side walk with CHALK…it must be the creator of CHALK at fault, or SIDE WALKS even, they gave me the tools to create a horrible mature image that a child’s eyes should not be privy to. If your going to hate something at least hate the right thing!

Finnaly, I find what you are doing here FAR worse than almost ANYTHING the perverted men and women who play spore and create mature images. they did so as a Joke. I know this will come as a shock to MANY of you but GOD gave us a Penis. If its SOOO much of a terrible thing, think of THIS, God gave man a penis after crafting him in his image, Are you implying GOD is evil?…Hell, should not we honor what god gave us? if making babies is such a sin then why did God intend for us to do it to procreate? I am sick and tired of christians “confusing” if you will, what God says is evil, and what they WANT to be evil.

I hope my harsh words could open a few eyes, I dont claim to know what God intends, I dont know what he thinks, none of us do. but I am tired of seeing men and women , like the creators of this site, proclaim something as evil and an afront to the lord all-mighty simply because they dont agree with it. If you dont like something, fine, but dont drag religion into it.

what genesis, fucking religious stupid man, you are a head of penis, fuckin in you fuck brain , gay , don’t speak about de bible because this is only lyed and the real true is the infinite and the cration for the big bang,
nothing about genesis 5 NOTHING YOU ARE NOTHING,go to read your bible in the hell

I agree with you! Now I know that the apocalypse will come. God would not aprove this… We are not gods, we are sheeps, and we should follow the words from the Holy Bible, not asking questions and pretend we are Gods. There is only one God, the one in Black&White. How else that cow could beat a tiger? And he can grab villagers with his hand… Did you heard that, with his hands… And he can launch balls of fire and lightnings. Forgive the ignorants God of Black&White, Spore is just a game, they didn’t want to upset you. Look, if you really have to punish us, strike a lightning on the people that made this site. They are willing to die for us, the sheeps. They don’t want to get rich and famous. Please God of Black&White, just them, now… please… pretty please!?

All the people cussing the writer, please READ THE FUCKING TEXT. Its a joke.. .for Gods sake…

This guy is rick rolling God himself, and you guys sit here, dont even read this shit and cuss the author? Come on.. .dont make an ass of yourselves… READ THE ARTICLE before you start cussing.. atleast read the last paragraph.. .Pathetic.

Stop being a fascist and let people think what they wanna think
some people read the bible and put their faith into it, and some don’t
some people study evolution and put their faith into it, and some don’t

learn to accept other people’s opinions and stop trying to change them to your likeness

I am terrified of all of you people who didn’t get the joke and are still flaming the poster with your bible thumping holier than thou bullshit. No wonder the rest of the world hates America, we’re full of goddamn idiots. Maybe 9/11 was called for after all.

“I think part of the problem that is going on here is that the bulk of you are ignorant as to the word of God. I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in. I understand that everyone didn’t have the chance to be taught these things, and learn about God as my family did so if I am going to have this kind of attention I should use it to help teach others about the words of God that helped to shape me into the woman I am today.”

For there are no christian babys but there are children raised by christians who copy there values…

Please read “The god delusion” by Richard Dawkins ISBN 978-0-593-05548-9. It may broaden your understanding of the world you live in.

I almost choked on my diet coke I was drinking when I read, “that the bulk of you are ignorant as to the word of God. I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in.”

So we are the ignorant ones for having a free thinking mind, instead of being a tool like you and only having beliefs in something because your parents brainwashed you as a kid. I think you are a fucking loser with way to much time on your hands. You would not see a big stink be made if this game was a religious themed game, but when the opposite sides, my side, comes out with a game you decide to make a website dedicated to the few losers like yourself who will even listen to your crap you type.

How about grow a fucking brain, cut the strings from your parents and stop believing in fairy tales…I meant the Bible.

26. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Oh how I love to break down the Biblical quotes to the drivel they are.

I’ve never noticed this before. “God said”. If God is the only god then who was God talking to when he said something. If it wasn’t anyone/thing else then God was most likely utterly insane.

“Let us make men in our image” – who is the “us” and “our” here? If it’s no-one but God then this adds creedence to the insanity plee. If God was speaking to a creation of his own then this predates the existance of man and us such indicates the God made another god thusly, God isn’t he only god.

“Let us make man in our image” – by you’re own reconning this means we all look like god. Scaled down, scaled up, exact sizes? Show me two humans that are the same that didn’t come from the same mother and I’ll show you the True image of God, or one the gods anyway. Much more disturbingly, God would have two arms, two legs, a head and well you get the idea. Here on earth, these opposable thumbs have become very handy, but if God is an etherial being then surely size/shape/thumbs etc would be of little use. Unless of course God had to drive an etherial car to his etherial job and spend 8 theological hours a theogical day typing to another god that only exists in the mad humanoid brain of God. And maybe he does. But if he does then that would indicate that his form was dictated to him by him, as the one and only God that has and ever will be, or else he started as a completely formless etherial entity and only become human shaped over the course an infinite period between theolical awareness and the creation of man. Which rather indicates that God evolved.

Oh, and I’m not going to hell. I’ve been there, it’s called Croyden, and left as soon as I’d done my job.
